Missed Effexor dose- brain skipping and body twitching?

Hi an awful way to feel but this is normal with missed effexor dose or when withdrawing from it.happened to me one weekend i forgot my prescription - thought i was going to die. Shortly after you take your next effexor it will ease and stop completely dont worry. I have recently gone from 487.5mg to zero and it was brutal - still two weeks off effexor and still with brain shivers/zaps/confusion etc. This is a very potent drug with a short half life and thats the main reason for your symptoms.i hope you feel a little better soon - dont push yourself - you will get there.john

EMILLIE; yes this is withdrawal from not taking you Effexor Even skipping one dose some start to have problems so chalk this up so you now to order early this is terrible when this happens Also remember to take them just as you are supposed to when you get them, Don't take extra thinking because you have not had any. If you are not already it does help if you take it at about the same time each day or night so you keep your level where it should be. Sorry, you have to go through this. I know it is not fun.But please don't worry about the symptoms you have written down that is all from the missing Effexor. Breath deep and slow, And just remember you will be better very soon. try and take it a bit easy if you can. Chuck1957 and Merry Christmas.
