Good Max - I hope you can get some good rest. It can all be sorted out . It's awful when meds make you feel crazy. I've been there too. Please check in later and tell us how youre doing. and I hope the doctor can help ASAP. Hate that you're feelng so bad.

Max be careful coming off Effexor. I took it for over a year. It did help with depression/anxiety, but coming off of it was a bitch. Good idea to talk to your doctor.

max,
I also am on Effexor, and am slowly...SLOWLY weaning off of it....I went off it cold turkey before (thought I was *cured* and flushed the remaining meds down the commode) and it was hell on earth. I thought I was going INSANE for three days...anxiety...electrical pulses in head, and arms...a serious feeling of being *not attatched* to my surroundings...YEEESH...have you taken a lesser dose lately?....forgotten your meds?...the withdrawl from them are brutal....for me to get off them will take 36 weeks or more, and I was taking 150 mg once a day...now I am doing 112.5 a day for 12 weeks...then will go down again, etc.
please see your doctor asap....and try to not drink...maybe they can help with meds for anxiety to help you rest?....

please check in, I am worried about you...
love and hugs,
Kee

I agree with the others, maxman. Go and see you GP and get him/her to put you onto something else.

Both my husband and I were on Effexor a while back... coming off of it cold turkey almost killed us both. It is extremely potent.

Please take care. Drink lots of water.

wtf

Max - I hope you're feeling better.....

OMG........and PLEASE tell your wife from me that it so sounds like the meds 'making' you like this.....don't let her think it's the drink.....

.....cos I am sad to read so much about Effexor and the awful times some of you guys are having/have had on it..... and to realise 5 years too late that the ex (love of my life) I spoke of was as Jekyl and Hyde as he was, probably from it....and that I believed him when he said endlessly that it was all me and that I was the horrible person who was' too damaged for a relaitionship'....... He left with me that - wonder where he is now - hope he's better now.....that stuff is dangerous!!! Even if it helps a few...it seems to do untold damage elsewhere....

Max - I hope your doc can find you something that works well for you.....

Really, really thinking of you....it sounds truly horrible...I remember Colin suffering terribly on it.....remember that we know you as a great, steady, strong guy.....hang in there with that until you 'find yourself again'...you're gonna be ok...

Love FMS xx

wtf

didnt drink enough for a hangover and stopped early, feel like crap still, bit surreal ,still got bad headache will ring doc this morning thanks

[wonderworld]

wtf

Good to hear from you Max. You sound better. Have you tried taking something for the headache? Do you have aspirin? Aspirin is best for headaches if you've got it -
Hang in there :l . Hope the doc is helpful.
Keep us posted-
