I went from 225mg to 150mg and got brain zaps for a week or two and my heart rate went up giving me chest pain. Sometimes It would bother me so much I couldnt go to sleep because I was afraid I'd have to go to the hospital. I almost thought I was going to die once going up on Geodon because I suddenly felt depressed and very confused and my heart was racing too fast so ever since then I've kind of had a fear of it happening again. I just started taking 75mg and my chest hurts.

Your coming off Effexor too fast. You should be making cuts of 10% of current dosage every 3 to 4 weeks. You wont withdrawal then.

I agree with CobolCapsule that you should taper down very slowly from Effexor if you're experiencing withdrawal symptoms. I'm suffering terribly right now as I'm tapering off Geodon, but I had no problem tapering off Effexor years ago. Everybody is different. Chest pains may very well be the result of withdrawal but they should be investigated by a doctor.
