@texasduchess I was doing fine until week or so ago. Now I'm kinda lost feeling and irritable. The Doc also put me on serquel and I think it's the serquel that is making me irritable and giving me bad headaches.

So glad to hear from you! Sorry this past week+ hasn't been good. Today is my one-year anniversary of taking the last tapered dose of Effexor and I can tell you that it gets better, then worse and then better again through this whole process--it stays better longer each time.

Glad to hear from you but sorry things are still not going well.
Hang in there!
Do you think seeing a therapist during this period would be helpful?
Talking with someone who might be able to give you suggestions could prove to be just the thing??????

@farmboy- Morning. It's good to hear from you. Please call your doctor about the new medication. Did you know that serquel is an anti-psychotic? Is this what your doctor thinks? Maybe there is an interaction with Effexor? Either way you shouldn't have a headache. Have you called her already?
