My pdoc has be coming off effexor Sr. Over the last few weeks I have tapered off slowly -- and last night was the first time I didn't take any.
I am getting these sensations behind my eyes and that sometimes run down my face that feel like a really annoying tickly/numbing feeling. Plus my contact lenses feel unbearable. Everything is incredibly bright -- and my lenses are so dry/irritating.
Has anyone experienced this? Anything I can do about it, save taking the dosage?
My pdoc has volunteered to give me prozac (b/c of the half life being so long, it will quell the withdrawl) -- but I don't want to take another AD to stave off the effects of the AD I am trying to get off of.
Help. Advice. Support. Anything appreciated.
I feel wimpy.
