I agree, STAY AWAY from Effexor !
I am on my 2nd week of with drawl and on my way to the Dr. to get a small dose of it bacause the "zaps" and the dizziness and the wierd sleep things that are going on in me are just WAY to much to handle. I was on 112mg for 1 year, and I must admit, life was good then. It really does help. But, to know then what i know now about TRYING to stop it, well, I 'm not sure if its worth it. People tend to quickly forget the good when things go bad, but for those of you thinking about going on this drug. Be very careful, and DO find a Dr that knows ALOT about this drug. And, please don't think that once you feel better you'll be able to handle the with drawl, IT IS NOT AN EASY thing. Take into concideration what everyone is saying here. It IS a dangerous drug, and VERY VERY addicting.
