I've been on 112.5mg of Effexor for over 2yrs now. The Dr. and I decided that because I have been doing really well, I should try to go off the medication. Over the past 2 months I have been tapering off it. While that has gone well non-depression wise, the side effects have not been so great.
My main complaint is the 'electric shock/dizzy pusles' I get, which after quite a bit of net research I have found is rather common.I am now in my last week of going off and these shock things have only been getting worse. So much so that for the past two days they have been making me feel insane. I talked to the Dr. about it but it's kinda one of those 'wait it out' things apparently.
My question is, does anyone know of anything that can help this 'electric shock' reaction go away or lessen? While there seems to be alot of info on the fact that this can take place, I can't find much about how to make it go away.
Thanks alot. Have a good day.
ps. The only think I have heard is taking Omega 3 could help. Does anyone have experience with that?
I to am on effexor Im on 3 pills that are 150mg plus I have a real hard time remembering until as of late. I could always tell when I forgot because I got those and I would throw up. I dont think there helping me anymore But im scared to try something different because of those dizzy spells. I Know this was a while ago but I hope you have gotten over them.
