HI, I STUMBLED ACROSS YOUR ACTICLE REGARDING YOUR SIDE EFFECTS OF EFFEXOR. FIRSTLY, THE 'ELECTRIC SHOCKS/WAVES' AND BUZZING NOISES THAT YOU GET IN THE HEAD ARE COMMON BUT USUALLY WHEN MISSING A TABLET OR TRYING TO COME OFF THEM TOO QUICKLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MYSELF AND I'VE READ SIMILAR IN OTHER ARTICLES IN THE PAST. IT COULD BE QUITE POSSIBLE THAT SOME PEOPLE GET THEM WITHOUT MISSING A DOSE. I TAKE MINE IN THE MORNING. THAT MAY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. ALSO, I GET SPASMS IN MY LEG WHICH CAN PREVENT SLEEP. ON OCCASSIONS, MY WHOLE BODY PRACTICALLY LEAVES THE BED AND THE ONLY SOLUTION I'VE FOUND IS A HOT BATH WHICH CAN BE PRETTY ANNOYING AT 3 IN THE MORNING. I THINK SPASMS CAN BE QUITE COMMON WHILST ON THESE. HOWEVER, SINCE BEING ON THESE (4 YRS) DESPITE THESE SIDE EFFECTS THE CAPSUALS HELPED THE SYMPTOMS...... BUT NOT THE CAUSE. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH POST NATEL DEPRESSION AFTER FIGHTING IT FOR 6 MONTHS MY HEALTH VISITOR TALKED ME INTO TAKING EFFEXOR. ALTHOUGH THE FEELINGS OF DISPAIR AND PANIC CEASED I WAS STILL EXHAUSTED AND IT WAS 3 YEARS LATER THAT SOMEONE ASKED ME IF I'D EVER HAD MY THYRIOD TESTED. FINALLY I GOT MY ANSWER. MY THYRIOD WAS UNDER AND THAT CREATES DEPRESSION LIKE SYMPTOMS. (APPARENTLY, A COMMON CONDITION AFTER PREGANCY .....HOW ANNOYING)
