i skip effexor doses just to experience the most vivid bizarre dreams, though sometimes the can be terrifying, waking up and moving my legs away from where they are and crawling out of bed to wake up because of spider dreams.
Im not sure if the bad dreams are worse or these horrid brain zaps (omg) not sure if i can handle many more, i could not even shop in a crowded walmart because of them.
Am wondering if GABA supplements can replace effexor

Hello everyone, I am brand new here. I am reaching out for information and advice on tapering off effexor and going on to prozac. It appears the effexor has stopped working for me. My OCD, depression and anxiety is very bad. I am going to be monitored by a psychiatrist. But, I have had terrible experiences with withdrawal symptoms that put me in the hospital in the past and I must admit I'm scared, anxious and depressed just thinking about it. Am I going to be ok ? Can anyone give me their experiences? Unfortunately I will most likely be stuck on a antidepressant for life with my symptom combination. I need support. Thank you in advance. I hope the pain that people have been feeling is resolving. God Bless 🙌
Thanks, Lisa... The worst symptoms have been trouble sleeping, anxiety, panic. Depression has been bad, feeling very sad, not able to cope, loss of joy, daily activities are just survival in addition to loss of appetite and my stomach is in knots. I did see a NP yesterday and I've returned to effexor, sad to say....
