I was on effexor for over 2 months and I had a false sense of well being. I felt like I was behind a curtain and all my problems were on the other side. Still there, just hiding. I took myself off of the drug, because I thought that I could make it on my own. Coming off this drug was pure hell. I had a couple of blackouts while driving, and also forgot where I was when I was in a hot shower. I have been off of it now for 3 weeks and 1 day, and Just finally am I feeling better. A friend told me that it would be out of my system in 48 hours, and it took alot longer. My appetite is getting better and I dont get as easily annoyed. My theory is that if people want you to take drugs so that they will like you better, send them packing. Good luck to each and all of you
