Of course half life isn't everything. The metabolites downstream be be psychoactive (good or bad). Indeed some drugs are not psychoactive by and of themselves at all. Also, as we are all told, brain changes occur, so presumably these can persist long after the half-life of the original drug. My psych said the time taken for the brain to recover from severe alcohol abuse is 6 years.
So I'm a bit despondent because, although the Effexor w/d effects may not last foerever, it may be months or years, and , well I'm 60 and time's running out. The whooshing when moving the eyes shows no sigs of abating (after 2 weeks - that's nothing I suppose and liveable with). But it make me wonder what's going on
