I began Effexor XR 75 mg end of July and stopped it on October 4th after suffering from horrible nightmares and incredible loss of sleep. My family doc said I shouldn't have any withdrawal symptoms since I was on it for such a short period of time. IT HAS BEEN HORRIBLE!!! I did talk the doc into giving me some Wellbutrin after reading here it helps with withdrawal. I started it on Oct 8th. However, I started throwing up on Oct 7th and did so for three days. I have continued to have an intermittent fever, horrible dizziness, the most bizarre tingling around my mouth, on my lips and the tip of my tongue. I also am experiencing crying jags, chills, can't sleep, and my body suddenly heats up like it's 200 degrees awake or asleep. I don't think my family doc is going to be of any help, can anyone here clue me in - how long is this HELL going to last?????????
