Effexor never gave me a high feeling. I was on 225mg, but right now I'm currently going through the cold turkey withdrawal. I didn't feel like it helped me at all when I was on it, but I'd continue to take it, but my doctor isn't being at all understanding with me about the costs. It's such an expensive medicine! I'm trying to work out the free program, but he won't even call me back, so here I am, feeling like I'm dying due the the Effexor withdrawals.
Do you get the "brain zaps" or whatever? I've only had one, but it's not pleasant. I have all those other symptoms you listed too, it's crazy. I am also going through extreme sleep deprivation, though, so I am having a tough time telling what's from the Effexor and what's from the sleep, but neither are helping each other..
Definitely keep me updated on how you're doing.
