Can't tell you how much I appreciate that link :O) I've been in the hospital for two weeks and went from 225 mg of Effexor to NONE over a five day span. The nurses and the psych didn't seem to appreciate the fact that I'd have withdrawal symptoms. I kept hearing about how stress can do that kind of thing to you... or maybe I did "have a flu."
I finally got to talk to my GP who hadn't been around for a few days and he was the only one who seemed to get it. I got out on an afternoon pass the other day and went and bought some Gravol (Kinda like Dramamine, but Canadian, eh?) ;O)
It's helped a lot and some of the symptoms seem to be lessening. But most are still there.
It's good to know I'm not the only one to be feeling this and the link was very helpful.
Thanks again :O)
It's back to the hospital for me, but armed with a printout.
