No, I was on 0.5 (1/2 mg) of xanax, prn (when needed) at bedtime. That is a very small amount.
So, I wasn't taking it every night, and it was the second smallest dose available.
It would not have been causing those effects.
But, it did cross my mind at the time, anyway.
I had begun by about the third night to worry about it and I did go ahead and take one pill, just to be on the safe side.I have also heard some people who have cold-turkeyed off Effexor with no problem.
But, most people feel it as soon as they miss the first dose.My brother took it for a while, and he called it "sparkly head". If he missed his dose for even a few hours, he would begin to have symptoms.
He eventually came off it, but very slowly.
