I have quit effexor as of 5 days ago, and do not plan on relpacing it with another drug. I too have crying spells and brain zaps. They seem to be much better already after only 5 days off. I was on 150 mg for 6 months. (this time around - last time was years ago when I tried prozac.) For me, I have found that the depression is a symptom of something else wrong in my life, and I would rather deal with whatever else I'm doing wrong in my life -- usually relationships! I know many people probably wouldn't agree with my approach, but I'm going to give it a try anyway!
