Odds are that you won't be able to stay on it forever. Effexor requires more and more to be effective. Eventually, you'll be at the max dose and it won't work, and you'll have to come off it then. The withdrawal will likely be exponentially worse then. Getting off now is a good idea. As for the sleep paralysis, I occasionally experience that and it is terrifying. I don't have any suggestions, but hope and pray you'll find something that will help. Take care!

> I am coming off effexor after taking it for nearly 4 years. I'm suffering from dizziness and headaches but thats not the worst thing.
> Before I started effexor I used to suffer from sleep paralysis but it seems the drug stopped that happening, now the SP is back and I hate it! It is the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. I want to stay on effexor forever to to stop the SP. Is this a good idea?
