I was on effexor several years ago. I had the weird dreams, the tingles, brain shocks and all that. I stopped taking it one time and I thought I had parkinsons disease. I went to the doctor and the idiot said, I dont think it is from the medication, I have never heard of those side effects before. IDIOT. I checked on line and sure enough everyone who took it had the same symptoms. The way I got off the was by slowly cutting back. It took about a month but each day I took less and less. I broke open the pills and counted out the little balls, reducing the amoung each day. That pretty much worked but to this day I still have these twitches that I know was cause from that SH*T.
The worst thing was the doctor never told me about the possible side effects and then didn't know about them when I asked about it.
