If you choose to try this make sure you stay upright for at least a half hour after the fish oils or you will be burping nastiness galore.
It doesn't take them completely away but I can say I have been brain zap free for 2 weeks now and I started 2 weeks after stopping Effexor so I can't complain. Trust me this works and saved me months of suffering like I suffered the last time I stopped citalipram

Oh gosh, I've come off Effexor before in the past, a couple of times. It is HELL. I've got some fish oil, I was thinking that might be an idea. Going to eat a bunch of them now lol. Brain zaps and nightmares are so awful!
And starting a new med all at once. At least that one is bearable..
