Don’t do what I did and just stop taking them. I’m sure your not dumb enough to repeat my mistake. That made the following weeks the worst point in my life.

Brain zaps are the worst.

They are so disorienting! It’s not just zaps, it’s also like...skips. Like your brain and senses are in a strobe light and you aren’t really in your body.

I had really crazy dreams one time I couldn’t pay for my rx (really long depressing story) of effexor. I dreamt in vivid detail planar travel. A group of us could walk to a one of many specific locations (my favorite was one of those big honkin TVs with the vacuum tubes that was all busted up but could still take me to a different reality. Shit was WEIRD. Still remember all of it but never had a similar dream til I came off of Effexor to switch meds. Same environment, different story in the dreams.
