severe nausea, headaches, chills, body aches, petit mal seizures, irritibility (though that's to be expected if you go off an SSRI), sweats, dizzy spells, tunnel vision, disorientation, short term memory loss...
Zoloft was bad, when I went off that, but nothing compared to Effexor. I used to "joke" going off Zoloft that I felt like an extra from Trainspotting.
Thing is, I'm one of those folks who actually DOES have a neurological reason to take SSRI's and for as evil as they are, they're a damn sight better than the alternative (lithium, etc.)
