MY BRAIN WAS VIBRATING AGAINST MY SKULL!!

That's a perfect way of describing it!

Now, I've only been on it for 7 or 8 months, and 150 mg / day, so the withdrawal's not as serious as yours. But I can see why people hate that feeling.

My doc suggested that I should think about staying on it, going back up to 150. I'm going through some issues with my partner right now, and she thought it would help with any anxiety I might potentially have. But I'm with you, 18yearsdead. First, the brain zaps are getting better, so why would I go back up and have to go through all that again, and 2nd, my mood hasn't changed a bit. So sayonara, effexor!

*sticks tongue out at effexor*
