Well, actually, yes. I did have seizures. I didn't know that I was having them until my husband was at home and I fainted and had one. I had been fainting a lot in withdrawal, but I couldn't "feel" the seizures. Does that make sense?
One caveat though. I was born with torticollis. A rare congenital disorder that had some initial neurological effects on me when I was young, but never affected me again after that until Effexor and the seizures. So there may be a connection between the two, or maybe not. It could have been totally Effexor. Who knows? I'm off of it now. Withdrawal was very hellish for me. Your mileage may vary.
I don't take brand new drugs on the market anymore. I take the tried and true ones now, even if they are a bit more inconvient.
