In reply to withdrawals and pregnant, posted by mandilynn on December 9, 2004, at 14:49:31
I've been off the Effoxor for over a month now and my symptoms with the "BRAIN JOLTS" are next to none. These quakes will leave. Give it time girl. All will be ok in the near future. I have heard that some cases that the symptoms may stay longer but not nearly as bad as in the begining. You are making the right choice for you and that special little miracle to get off that poison. I feel so much better now. I still have some dream and quakes but my wife has toild me that I am back to the man she once new. Things will be much better. We are all with you on this. It's a tough battle, a battle that will win you the war!!
Good luck and keep us posted.
Have a Merry Christmas.-------------------------------------------------
> Ah, I think I'm going crazy. But it's nice to know I'm not alone. Not only am I experiencing withdrawals from effexor down from 150MG to 75MG for 4 days to 37.5MG for 4 days to nothing...I'm on my 2nd day effexor free, but I'm also almost 6 weeks pregnant. Before finding this site I thought a lot of my symptoms were pregnancy related but now I see they could be from withdrawal as well. I knew the brain shivers and light headedness were from withdrawal because I've experienced them before from missing a dose. But I've also been have very vivid dreams, incredible night sweats, and trouble sleeping, all of witch I was blaming on the pregnancy. Now I see it could be from either. I'm glad to be getting off this drug, both for my baby's safety and mine, but these withdrawals are aful. Not to mention the other pregnancy symptoms I am having. The possible long term withdrawal effects are scaring me though. Has anyone had these brain shivers or any other symptom go on for long term? Is there anyone else going through pregnancy and withdrawals at the same time? Thanks for everyone's support. It's great to know I'm not completely falling apart.
