Hang in there. It took me a long time, a full 16 months before I was pretty much as good as new...and I still can't run more than five minutes without getting a searing headache the next day.

My new doctor explained to me how Effexor caused so many problems for my body and why I should never have taken it, but at least I finally no longer have the searing pain and fatigue that I had every day of my life during the whole time that I took and stopped taking Effexor.

I've read a lot of posts from people that recover within anywhere from a week to three months. It's great that your doctor gave you Valium to help you through the rough spots. What a great idea! There were months that I could barely leave the house after I quit taking Effexor because the anxiety was so bad. It sounds like you are in good hands. I'm sorry that you are going through this.

There's no real way to say how long it's going to last, but I hope you are one of the lucky ones and that it is over for you very quickly.
