I am 15 months off effexor after 10 year's use. 5years on, 3 years off, 5 years on. I have severe emotional dysregulation, like never before. Depression, anxiety, panic, agitation, mood swings, suicidal ideation, horrible sleep disturbances--all completely physiological, not psychodynamic.
Nothing has touched this, not a 20 year yoga practice, not treatment with a naturopath, not therapy, meditation, cannabis, on and on and on. My nervous system is so compromised that changes in barometric pressure have me sobbing uncontrollably for no reason. Ive just taken medical leave from work, can't function like this anymore.
We've been sold bill of goods when it comes to the SSRI's.

I was on Effexor started with 37.5 mg. then 75 mg. and the doctor increased it to 150 mg. about a week into the new dosage I was experiencing headaches, some were mild and I could maintain my daily activities, then it happened the most horrific headaches along with nausea, dizziness, which left me unable to perform my job and eventually missing many days of work.
During this time I had missed a couple of days taking my regular dose and then all hell broke loose, the headaches were so severe, the dizziness turned into vertigo and I experienced numbness in my left side of my body which I thought was a stroke, the inability to walk up my stairs and move, may I mention the most vivid and scariest dreams I have ever experienced. A trip to the emergency room and a stay in the hospital. I forgot the twitches all over my body uncontrollable the most horrifying withdrawals from any medication I have ever taken.
Please be very leery and reconsider if a doctor suggests this medication. I am so thankful I am off it and never ever will go back on this again.

I feel your pain I have been trying to get off effexor after 10 years of use and it's been a year and I continue to have the most horrific withdrawal even with taking out just a couple granules at a time and the effexor was prescribed for off label purposes all of which have gotten progressively worse I can't work I can't function anymore I am fearful that I will never fully recover ...

Terry I am going thru the same thing. It has affected my body terribly . I would be happy to come in on your class action suit if your would let me join forces with u. My name is Debbie.

I am also interested in a class action suit against this medication. It has been an ongoing living hell going off of it, even being tapered off by a Dr.

Two days without it and I have unexplained "pings" to my head and Vertigo and nightmares. But how do we prove it guys.

If I have to go without it for a couple of days. What is it really doing to our brains.

A DNA test probably saved my life from this mind altering drug. Turns out i cannot metabolize it and suffered only side effects, most notably what they call "vivid dreams" which in fact are out of body dreams. I will never be the same. Many were then put on an antipsychotic, engendering yet another diagnosis, another label. Having worked in the field, never went that route, but to a holistic m.d. who did the dna profile for depression, meds. I had gone from 147 lbs. to 107 lbs in 6.5 mos. Am off that drug, and regaining weight, no out of body or precognitive dreams. This is a DANGEROUS drug. Anyone know of decent research being done? Would like to add to research studies.

Hi did you find an Australian class group...this drug near killed me..was on it for 4 yrs..a page long list of side effects not one single Dr linked to effexor...they gave me more pills..my life fell apart, I weaned off them was horrific that Dr put me on lower dose again ..I thought I was crazy and that was my life now...he increases my dosage my side effects worsened again and i took an over dose of over 140 various pills just to end it all.....a friend visited & saw me taking it when I got out of hospital...was the only way I realised what this drug had been doing to me for 4 yrs...had she not visited me I honestly do not think I would be alive today
