Getting off Effexor!?

I have successfully gotten off effexor! I just wanted to pass the word. I was on 150MG daily. I started to take it every other day then only when I couldn't take the side effects anymore. I was fed up. SO.I stopped cold turkey! I took an internal cleanse and started to take cold showers. The internal cleanse is by Nature's Secret and has a Multi-Herb & Fiber in the box. Take it until you like poop 3xs a day. I read that taking cold showers will make your muscles contract and release toxins. So by doing this for a couple of weeks the dizziness, crazy mood swings, mania, hysteria and night sweats stopped. Yeah I still have depression but I am taking St. John's Wort to help with that. I am just sooo HAPPY to be off. I know this is a question type forum but I just wanted to share what I experienced. I won't ever get on anti-depressants again. I hope this helps for someone else. I would rather deal with depression naturally.

Effexor is a hard one to get off of . I still have "brain zaps" every now and then and I have been off for 3-4 months..I had them so bad it felt like I was jolting forward outta my body. I went to the ER one time cause I couldnt take it anymore and while I was having these jolts it had my blood pressure alllllllll over the place.

TERRRRRRRRRIBLE

Alot of people are having problems with it and while I was on it for 3 years - I aint really sure if it is a drug meant for long term use.

When they test drugs out before offering them to the public they should study someone that has been on the drug for a year or more. They only do 6 week clinical studies and this is why it is so hard for the doctors now to know about the brain zaps and suicidal thoughts... and other bad withdrawal symptons.

Effexor is being hit hard with suicide lawsuits.... I thank God I am off of it now.
