I failed to update on my Effexor withdrawal because, well, you know why.
After three to four weeks, my Effexor symptoms – well, most of them anyway – have dissipated. The brain shocks were gone by early February. The vertigo as of now has completely resolved. (Although I’ll probably still have occasional instances where it may linger.) The dizziness also has lightened up. I can confidently say that I’m pretty much back-to-normal. All cases will differ, but for me, it took about five weeks total to have a complete recovery.
But don’t do headstands after Effexor – whoo, boy, can that throw you for a loop.
Also – it took about four weeks to get the drowsy effect of fluoxetine (Prozac) out of my system. January was an extremely rough month for meds, let me tell you.

Glad you got some relief.
Incidentally, were you doing the headstands because of your excitement at feeling better, or for some other reason? 🙂
Nah – I did ’em on the bed in an attempt to show how flexible I’ve become with my recent weight loss. Whoo boy, talk about dizziness, vertigo, nausea, oh man, you name it. I guess it’s bad enough when you don’t have weird drugs pumping through your body. 😛
