oh my god, I didn’t know anyone else experienced that type of withdrawal from effexor. It drives me crazy.
it's sooooo bad and at the time it was terrifying because i was half out of my mind reading all these horror stories on the internet about how it screwed up ppl's brains indefinitely! like all these people saying 'yeah i went off it 5 years ago and i still get withdrawal symptoms' and i guess that's me now but i mean just getting the occasional brain zap isn't that bad, just startling. i have a feeling it messed something up in there in less obvious ways though because i've been a lot more scattered and fuzzy and like.....ineffably weird-feeling since then generally and that freaks me out because what if that's permanent too
