| I was getting worried about the little lightning flashes I was having in my head so I did some research on it and was not happy with what i found out. Apparently Effexor XR is extremely hard to come off of and something like 85% of people who are taken off of it experience some sort of withdrawal that can last up to a year after coming off the drug! They call the little lightning flashes i'm having brain shivers. I'm pretty pissed my doctor failed to mention how hard it can be to get off the drug. So looks like i'm going to have to suck it up and get off effexor really slow. |
