I have been tapering down from 150 mg of Effexor after several weeks at 37.5 mg., I am now on day three of not taking it at all. I’ve been managing the achy body with Tylenol all through the tapering. However, now I am experiencing insomnia and then when I finally fall asleep from exhaustion, I have crazy and slightly disturbing dreams so I wake up pretty anxious. That part is manageable. I am really struggling with the “swooshing” sounds in my brain. They are not painful but make is extremely difficult to concentrate and focus on computer work for my job. Also I am feeling nauseous so my brain wants me to eat all the time. Plus, I feel pretty weepy at times and get irritated easily. Any tips to get through this time? I know eating healthier and continue to exercise will help. Any other tips? Especially with the “swooshing” sound in my head? I am also considering taking Tylenol PM at night so I can fall asleep and stay asleep. Any advice on this plan? Thank you!
