After a month of dumping out the spansules so I was only taking about 8 mg a day, I’ve been completely off Effexor for 4 days. So far, no brain zaps, and no inappropriate teariness. Although, I have heard that those side effects can pop up again, even several months after stopping the Effexor.
As for the tooth, the oral surgery has been postponed ’til the 31st, because the specialist who took the CT scan hasn’t bothered to reply to my oral surgeon’s requests that she share the results and her opinion on the likelihood that the root is actually fractured and must be removed, or whether it can just be cleaned up and the infected bone and tissue removed. Until he has that information, he is, understandably, unwilling to just open up my jaw and mess around in there.
So I’m on massive penicillin capsules for another week. Those capsules are so big that, when my dad saw one, he said, “Are you sure you’re supposed to SWALLOW those things?”
