I'm the OP and I was talking about psychiatrists, although I forgot to put that in there. I think especially with anti-depressants, it would give them a much better idea than just by observing their many patients. I was on 150mg of Effexor, and after I complained of some nasty side effects, he told me to taper off by taking 75mg for 5 days, and that should be it. !! After the brain zaps and dizziness and anxiety issues, I decided to halve the 75's, and finally quarter them. Now I'm off, although I'm still dealing with smaller brain zaps.

Once I told him about the brain zaps as I was coming down from Zoloft. He acted like he never heard of such a thing. ??

Ok, you judge.
