Heart racing so much I can hardly breathe. Nausea beyond belief and vomiting, feels like my head will explode, insomnia, nightmares, sweats where I am drenched from head to toe......to name but a few. I'm on this website because my Doctor tells me it's not the medication and I know it is. I've been on 3x75mg per day and have weened myself down to 75mg a day over the last year but side effects are getting much worse. Feel like I should take myself to hospital but don't think I can get there. Depression was bad enough but now I'd rather not be here at all.

research this topic on the web. you are not imagining this! MANY others have experienced the same reactions and, unfortunately, these side-effects will get worse. you know your body,and if your doctor is dismissing you then you need to find a doctor that will listen. i want to alarm you to action because effexor withdrawl can be very dangerous and should be monitored by a KNOWLEDGABLE physician, or a full staff in a drug rehab center. please, google "effexor withdrawl" and "effexor petition" (as there is a petition currently circulating asking lawmakers to force the makers of effexor to FULLY disclose side-effects while taking and withdrawl symptoms while coming off of effexor.
