Hi Shell,

Honestly, Effexor is one of the harder medications to come off of. One time I almost hit my husband in the head with a cast iron skillet. I ended up having to go to the doctor and get something to help me. It was called serzone. But I ended up going back on effexor. And I have been there ever since.

So I would maybe call the doctor and explain what is going on. It is difficult to go through. We are here for you, but aren't able to stop your withdraw symptoms. So sorry that you are going through this. When I did it, I could barely walk. Let alone do anything else. Had to call a friend to take me to the doctor.

I hope that you feel better soon. Don't let it go too far, if it keeps getting worse, call somebody. But I hope that you can make it through if that is what you want.

Hugs, Karen
