Antarctica? Are you kidding? You need more than Effexor advice your in dire need of some vacation counseling, lol. Oh yes I can just imagine all the unlimited entertainment options there. Did ya take your skis? Climb any glaciers? See any penguins? I suppose ice fishing is a possibility if cutting through 3 miles of ice isn’t an issue. Sounds like a wonderland for sure!! Couldn’t you find a nice tropical island somewhere?
Anyway I have read about zaps coming back after 9 months Effexor free but don’t remember what else it said. Wish I had some advice for you. Sorry kiddo.

@brightwings, I'm sorry to hear you had a brain event like a small TIA or stroke last week. Hoping your neurologist is helping you with this.
I also wanted to mention that you might consider posting about this experience in the Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases group on Connect https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/cerebrovascular-diseases/.
Is CBD the only missing link? What about getting enough sleep? Unusual stress? How is the sunlight where you are? Do you have allergies?
I am effected by everyday things like a lot of sugar and caffeine. And I’m a giant ball of stress lately.
Having a small stroke is super serious (I know you know...). How about water? I’m not trying to be flippant. Water is so important for so much.
Thinking about you.
