you probably read it all before, venlafaxine / effexor / and its evil side effects on withdrawal.
brain shivers? all i can say is that it feels like tingleing all over my face. my teeth tingle, my eyes tingle, my whole head inside tingles grrrrrrrr.
vertigo? i ride a trike to work everyday and i have a very strange feeling of no fear and dizzy spells whilst riding fast, whilst standing behind my desk at work ( tyre and exhaust sales receptionist ) it feels like my brain is swimming around in my head. if i bend down for any reason i lose my balance.
madness? am i really mad ? or is it all the others. 1 minute i feel like i can cope with the problems of the whole world the next minute i feel like i have the problems of the whole world to deal with with not knowing where to start.
i never stand in 1 spot for long i am bouncing all over the place.
my fingere s do the typing at work ( booking out invoices ) but when i stop and look i dont know how i managed to get it all right or even if it was really me that typed it all. most of it i just cant remember typing in at all.

if you wondering what this is all about

i am stopping my intake of effexor / venlafaxine i was on 75mg a day for 15 years and 150mg a day for approx 3 years of that.
the day before yesterday was my first day off of them then last night i split a 75mg capsual and took half of it. today has been a little strange to me like my body was not mine. last night i had some very vivid dreams strange dreams. comical really.
tonight i am not going to take any effexor i despratetly want to get of this nasty drug.
tonight i feel a little strange but i am refusing to take it.
check back tomorrow
