Just found this thread, I have been effexor free for 5 months now and I feel great. I read the earlier posts and you were right about the taper process. I did a 6 week taper from 75mg and was fine during it but as soon as I stopped, KABOOM!!! I went through exactly everything you guys did, pure hell! It lasted for about a months but I was feeling pretty good after 2 weeks, the second 2 weeks was so much better but I still got brain zaps and vertigo during this period but I was able to function fine. I just like to pop in here from time to time to let people know that it does stop and with time you will be ok. I did find benadryl liquid helped to smooth out the vertigo and spins a little but aside from that you just have to ride it out. Good luck to you all, I know what you're going through and you are not alone. Take care Paul
