Thank you all for your insight ! It has helped so much to have the support from those who have been there. I didn’t have a brain zap today , Thank God. I m sorry but will never ever touch Effexor again. I quit seorquel I quit smoking I quit drinking I lost fifty lbs all this year. My advice is to find s good doctor, I did not but I did find a pharmacist I could trust, and they know drugs better than doctors.
