So, I was an idiot and forgot to refill my Effexor. I have one that I'm gonna take tomorrow but I skipped today and the brain zaps are killing me. I don't know what to do. I probably won't be able to get them till Wednesday. The last time I ran out, things got bad, so it scares me.

Thanks y'all. I didn't know you could do that. I'm gonna try that in the morning.

You can setup automatic refills with your pharmacy so this doesn't happen again. As long as you are getting at least 1 or 2 refills with your script I believe you can just have it set to auto refill.
I'm on a trip and forgot to take mine this morning. Just from that alone I'm so light headed and dizzy and just feel off. So I feel you today. Feel free to message me
Brain zaps are the absolute worst. I have been through every kind of withdrawal and it is right up there with restless leg and calf spasms. Fucking nightmare.

@HoosierMama92 as long as you aren't too early to refill on your insurance they should be able to do it. I used to work in a pharmacy and we would do this pretty often for people when we ran out of stock on things. Good luck!!
Sending you love. Withdrawals from effector is awful. Try and take it easy until Wednesday. Sometimes you can call the pharmacy and ask them to fill it faster, but it depends on if it's in stock. If not - sometimes pharmacys have a few on hand they can give you before filling the rest.
Have you asked the pharmacy to give you like 3 days worth so tou can make it until Wednesdays? I've had to do that before..they just deducted 3 pills
If you go to the pharmacy and tell them you’re completely out and having really bad withdrawals they should give you some to hold you over until the refill. They’ve done that for me before. I know your pain though, brain zaps and withdrawals from Effexor are absolutely horrendous
