@kanaazpereira thank you for responding. Today I thought I was having a heart attack. I was so hot that I had one bag of ice tied on the back of my head and one on the bottoms of feet. B/p of 144/100 scared the hell out of me. The excessive crying really upsets me because I hate to cry for any reason. I've been on Effexor for 10+ years. I'm wanting off for Religious reasons. Once I found Yahweh (God) and read more of the scripture I found out he doesn't want us to use anything that doesn't grow in nature. When I read where that other person on here said that getting off Effexor was worse then trying to get off heroin it scared me.. but reading others made me realize it's going to take longer than I thought. Thanks again for replying now I know since i aready take meds for my b/p.. I need to go have my b/p checked more often.
