    I went off Effexor cold turkey when I was dealing with a bad bout of Norwalk virus several years ago. I experienced "brain zaps/shivers" as result of withdrawl that were extremely uncomfortable. Thankfully they've pretty much disappeared, although I still occasionally experience them.

      The yawns are back. I think it's Lamictal.

      AT least they aren't constant.

        Lamotrigine made my seizures worse >.<

        I need to change my meds soon and I think the local neurologist is disinterested.

          An unexpected side-effect: what Ultram treats is a list of things the insurance my mother is trying to get immediately disqualifies me. At least the guy is trying to find a loophole.

          EDIT: Seems once he was able to show there was a source to the pain and my body wasn't trying to tell me I had cancer or something--I dunno--then it was fine.

            Oh my gosh! I'm not the only one who feels fizz-pops? If I'm over an hour late with my Effexor I feel it, damn I feel it. My psychologist told me it's THE worst one to use just because of the w/d side effects. Kind of does a good job but if you have to change meds it's messed up. Doc and I discussed the side effects as chat, but she has heard of the zaps lasting over a year for people getting off the drug. Daaaymn. God forbid that this stops working on my neurons and I have to change meds.

            Cooper, I hope you're feeling good today.

              Actually, I'm feeling a new potential side effect from Ultram. My fingers are tingly. But I might also be sick. I'm very warm and kinda dizzy.

              I'm keeping an eye on it. If it doesn't disappear in a few days I'm approaching my doctor about it. Which is too bad, since Ultram works wonderfully.
