Have been off 60 mg for 2 weeks, the first week on 30 mg went fine. however, this past week - on one day, off one day has been terrible. hot flashes, sleepiness, heavy, dry eyes, brain shocks whenever i just turn my eyes. i am so glad i looked this up and found out other people had this problem. i am afraid to go completely off of it as i have to work every day and cannot keep on being this unsteady physically. i did ask my doctor to prescribe prozac in case i had severe problems. I did have severe problems with getting off effexor and ended up in the hospital with extremely high blood pressure. tracy, i hope you are feeling good by now and thanks for sharing your experience.

Teresa,
What we have learned here is how to slowly wean off this drug.
A big NO NO to skipping day, and cold turkey. If you think it's
bad now just wait.
There is a great weaning system that can keep you able to function
and your also in control if it needs to be changed at times. It does
take a very long time to get off this crap, but it's so worth it.
Read several posts from bsck a few months ago, like even Oct. and Nov.
There are so really good stoies, and great info back then.
If you need help let me know.
