Hey there. Ive been on effexor for a couple months now. I decided to stop taking it 3 days ago. Ever since then I've been experiencing these sudden heart 'electric' jolts/palpitations. It feels like my heart gives a really strong beat once every 5 minutes or so. The feeling stays mostly in my chest area but I also feel pressure in my ears when it happens.

Is this normal? It feels very unpleasant.

So i took my first dose of 300mg. It took about an hour for the effects to kick in. I didn't experience any hallucinations other than a few black dots on the ceiling if I moved my eyes really fast.

I felt very tired, heavy and lightheaded. Sometimes I would forget to breathe which caused a sudden heart palpitation. I thought it was a heart attack so it kinda startled me.

Should i try upping the dose next time? maybe 450mg ?
