Hi Everyone!
I'm on week 11 on withdrawals from Effexor. I'm still suffering with ringing ears, memory loss, concentration problems, insomnia, metabolism still messed up, irritable, joint pain, sometimes numbness in hands and feet, IBS acting up, drowsiness, blurred vision sometimes, and HORRIBLE & painful PMS lasting 12-14 days!
It would be helpful if others could post how long their withdrawals lasted.... PLEASE....
I'm hoping that the end is near and running out of patience dealing with these withdrawals!
Also, anyone who lost weight after getting off these drugs, how long did it take for you to start losing weight? I'm exercising my butt off and still not losing.
Thanks,
Wendy
