∙ 12y agoWhen i run out of my effexor by the 2nd day i experience symptoms. These include first i start to get very anxious, followed by diarhea, cold sweats, hot flashes, then comes these very weird hard to describe actions in my brain that I call brain jolts. It literally feels like there are misfiring electrical impulses randomly going off in my brain when i make sudden movements. They throw off my balance and actually hurt a little, but most of all they make me irratable and sick feeling. They are so bad I afraid to ever qiut effexor even if I don't need it any more. The withdrawl symptoms from what I read mimic opiate withdrawls. In plain English they suck! I usually have to drink alcohole or poppyseed juice to ease the pain until my script is filled.

∙ 15y agovenlafaxine is the generic name for the drug efexxor, which is an SNRI or serotonin-norephinephrine reuptake inhibitor. some side effects of stopping the medicine "cold turkey" would be dizziness, a feeling as if you are getting zapped by electricity, sweating, nausea, vertigo, tremor and confusion. you would be better off slowly reducing your dose as so then the symptoms will not come at all or will be very mild as compared to what they could be

∙ 14y agoUnder a doctor's supervision, I am switching my medications from Effexor XR to another anti-depressant. I am currently weaning off the Effexor and experiencing irritability, restless sleep, more anxiety than usual. I also can't appear to think straight. I am also experiencing brain "zaps" if I make any sudden physical moves, or if I look in a lot of different directions which also makes me feel slightly dizzy. My best to you if you are experiencing any or all of these symptoms.

A "fix" is a dose of a drug to which you are addicted which one takes to stave off withdrawl symptoms. People who eat a lot of sugar can show symptoms of withdrawl if they are without it, and would need a "sugar fix" to avoid the withdrawl symptoms. Diabetics can also require a dose of sugar to quickly raise their blood sugar level if it is low.But of course, people can talk about needing something as if they were addicted to it when they really aren't. In such a case, the "fix" is just something the person is craving.
