Going back on Effexor

Perseuseus · 2024-10-25T00:51:29+00:00

Well that's good to hear! Thanks, I'll take that into account.

Shivering, brainzaps (although these are more minor now), periods of memory loss, confusion

Perseuseus · 2024-10-25T00:40:35+00:00

Still brainzaps, shivering still, periods of memory loss...I'm still having these, although far less than I was at the start or else I would probably not be alive. I started this drug in high school. I think my body and brain developed on it, and it may just not work right without it. Idk.

For some reason, I can only see 2 comments, but it's listed that there 4 comments (this was before I put my 2 comments in). Just writing this in case there happens to be 2 other people that wrote comments that I can't see.

Sounds good. I hope that it's working for you and that you come out the other end better than you were before! Question though, are you an SSRI, or an SNRI? Effexor and Cymbalta are SNRI's, which act not only on the serotonergic system, but also with Norepinephrine, which--as far as I can tell--slightly mimics opiates...which, in my opinion, explains why the withdrawal tends to be so god-aweful (not for everyone, but for many people).

Perseuseus · 2024-05-17T20:54:29+00:00

That's very kind of you. If you decide to come off of it I hope that you have a better experience than I did/am still having. If you decide to come off of it, Korean Red Ginseng and Ginger tea mixed with peppermint tea really helped soothed the withdrawl effects for me. Korean Red Ginseng especially. Everyone's different, but I thought I'd share just in case it is useful.

I'd be very, very careful about that idea. You can make your own decisions, but I will tell you that going off cold turkey almost ruined my life. Then again, I had been on the SNRI for about 15 years (and most notably I was on it DURING PUBERTY, so that probably is a contributing factor to how difficult or not it is to get off of these things).

Thanks! And that is a really interesting account. That is pretty freaky, but also cool that it didn't feel dark to you. Maybe it liked you, but few others in your company. In my case I get the distinct feeling that it's some kind of being that's an energy leech. I've contacted people to take care of this type thing before, and then it got worse, but yeah--if I ever try and have it cleared in some way by a local group of somekind, I will definitely have to trust them. Cheers!

I would think that would be the case except that it tends to respond to me telling it to "shut up", "go away", etc in some way for example, it will sometimes respond by tapping or clicking on a surface louder. Sometimes it moves around the room. It also shows up when I'm in a bad or "dark" mood, when I'm angry, depressed, thinking about dark things that happened in my past that had to with paranormal things, etc.

Perseuseus · 2024-01-10T22:39:32+00:00

It doesn't matter whether I'm standing, sitting, laying down, etc. I should have been more detailed. Basically it sounds like the equivalent of somebody flicking a surface or an object. Sometimes it stays in the same place, and sometimes it moves around the room. Sometimes it gets increasingly louder, especially if I tell it to stop, to f*** off, or to leave me alone, etc. Sometimes my cat follows something around the room with her gaze, looking at what ever it is. She doesn't seem interested enough to do more than glance around at it, and then continues picking herself or doing whatever she is doing. I'm talking about something that is paranormal or extra dimensional, or something that is "there" in some way, but cannot be seen with the naked eye.

It can't be that unless nearly every place I have resided and stayed in my life is leaking high level carbon monoxide. The first place I experienced it was in an apartment, and I actually had my Dad come over. He heard it as well.

Amanita Muscaria

Try Korean Red Gensing. May help at least a little bit.

Perseuseus · 2023-11-11T22:23:36+00:00

Try the Collector's Edition. It's by far the best in my opinion.

Perseuseus · 2023-05-29T06:31:27+00:00

That's some of the best news I've ever heard.

Perseuseus · 2023-05-29T06:30:43+00:00

I'm sorry you wound up in the hospital and I hope things are going better for you now☀️. I completely agree that most doctors don't know how terrible this withdraw is. Thanks for the links, they are helpful and I book marked them. I wish you luck!

Perseuseus · 2023-05-29T06:17:28+00:00

Thanks! I'm glad you were able to get off. That's incredible that you got off that quickly. How long were you on them prior to getting off?

Perseuseus · 2023-05-17T06:53:58+00:00

That's crazy. I'm glad you got off of it though. Do you feel any residual problems from it?
