Looks like there are several of us weaning off Effexor and are at about the 3 week stage. I feel pretty lucky compared to some I have read. A little muscle weakness and nausea with headache. There are times when I feel very good and clean headed so think there is hope. I am weaning off to Prozac so that may be why the side effects are less too. I had the brain zaps while on Effexor and tried to tell the Dr I felt like my brain was trying to electically charge itself. He wrote down "crazy" and of-course had never heard of that before.
Gabmeister: How about an update on your progress since we haven't heard from you in a while. Are you feeling any better and how is it going?
