I am not envious. Electric shock syndrome sucks for sure. I've had it more than once, the worst from stopping benzos. It's also a side effect of stopping antidepressants. I HATE IT. It's impossible to say exactly how long the shocks will last. We are all different. Sounds like effexor is prescribed medication. I would get the dr in on this deal. Doctor should probably be involved if possible with stopping effexor after taking it for two years. Dr could probably help too with a taper schedule specific to you. Good luck.
