I'm not going to start taking it again because I believe it's in my best interest not to.
I looked it up and I think what I'm going thru is called "brain shivers"
Scarey - my brain needs ALL its cells in good working order  |
I also take Effexor and I was as sick as a dog about 3 weeks ago and kept forgetting to take my daily dose. I got the brain shivers too (which I found out thanks too my best friend Google
) and I had no idea what it was! It was really bad too, I was getting it every few minutes and thought I was dying!
I had never experienced that before! But once I started taking it again, it immediately went away.
