I am withdrawing from Effexor XR. I have scoured the Internet looking for answers on how to stop the horrific brain zaps. So far this combination of supplements is working GREAT: EPA Xtra made by Nordic Naturals (I took two capsules in the morning and 1 before bed), Energizer One multi vitamin made by Rainbow Light and 5-HTP (Hydroxytryptophan 100 mg) made by Jarrow Formulas. I started them today and have not had the first brain zap. Hope this helps!!!! EFFEXOR SUCKS!!!! If you have never taken it, don't start. If you're trying to come off....don't give up!!View Thread
