You have much stronger will power than I. Each time I've tried to stop with any of my medications, well, it's been horribly unsuccessful. They've all been cold-turkey attempts, too :( I'm glad I'm not the only one who has experienced the brain zaps! You describe it much better than I ever have - I told my doctor once, "It's like, I can hear my head turn. I can hear myself blink!" Haha. Congratulations! You have much stronger will power than I.

I am in the midst of Effexor detox (transition to Wellbutrin, as well). Reading of your experience -- between brain zaps -- has encouraged me so much. I am in the middle of week number two and I now feel I can get to the point where I will not need an E-fix. Thanks again! Thank you so much for your candid and humourous writing.

OMG. Getting off of it was the WORST. I did it slowly, though. And it STILL sucked. And I know about those brain zaps! Glad I'm off of it.

Well I know what to call them now. I'm trying to get off this $#iT at the moment and it's really hard. However I've had multiple (more than 3) suicide attempts while on it so I figure that it just is doing Jack except making me feel all the crappy side effects. It's good to see you can make it through. Although I don't know what my Psych will say when I tell him what I've done..... Brain Zaps. Well I know what to call them now.
