I think my freaking out and symptoms may have been caused by this because yesterday i accidentally took my old dose of 300 without thinking, and today i feel so so so much better.
This is good because i now know the reason, but bad because I need to come off effexor for the good of my health...this is going to be rough i think no matter how i pin it but i definetly cant do it like i have been. May need to do a couple weeks IP or something, not sure yet.
Glad the worst of the thoughts have subsided though, and the awful twitching and zaps are lessened.

Yes i know how it feels, so sick you think your dying, some people liken it to coming off smack. All i know is im stuck on effexor for the time being and wish i had never been prescribed it. Best of luck to you.
