How did you all handle withdrawal from Effexor? I tapered for 10 days from 150mg to zero because I didn't want to prolong the agony. (symptoms whether you taper OR cold turkey). I'm on day 4 of no meds and am going crazy. Night sweats/terrors are horrible. I am absolutely soaking wet each night. Fingertips feel like they're being zapped by electrical shocks. My eyes can't move real fast or I get dizzy. Crying and shaky. This is HELL. I was prescribed Effexor due to post menopausal anxiety and hot flashes. I'd trade those inconveniences in a heartbeat. One big question...PLEASE? Am I through the worst...'cuz I can endure anything if I just know that this too shall pass..... Anyone? Thanks for the support!
