Good day all. Well this is the beginning of week 8 without the dreaded Venlafaxine. Still experiencing some Zaps and other side effects but they dont seem to be as bad. Hand tingles seem to be gone!!!!!! Had a good sleep last night. Ate a banana and took 25 mg’s of benadryl before bed. Experts say that s supposed to help with insomnia. This is also day 7 of taking CBD oil. Seems to be helping a bit. Wont feel the full effects for maybe another 2-3 days. I sure hate feeling a pulse in my brain. My Dr says its the zaps. Still exercising a lot and eating properly. Wonder sometimes if I will ever feel normal again. What is normal anyways????? After 3 yrs of this I wonder what is is!!!!! Enjoy your day everyone.....

Hi since I have been using a cbd vap from royal vaps it’s helped with my anxiety and sleep so much I haven’t started my tapper yet but I get brain zaps even with the venlifaxin so I’m so scared . I’m currently coming off buprnophine I’m down to 4mg and it’s been a peace of cake I got addicted to painkillers due to back pain so the venlifaxin is my next journey and I’m terrified and after that it will be my 7mg of diazepam which I’m scared of coming off of too but I’m away to start my cbd oil soon as could not take it with buprnophine x
