I changed my Effexor SR (150 twice a day) to once a day on June 6. I saw my internist on the 11th because the dizziness, blurred vision, headache, shock-like feelings in my limbs, dry mouth, etc etc was so bad I couldn't stand it. I explained about the effexor but he still believes it's inner ear related. At any rate, he gave me antivert (mecliven) for the vertigo. That has helped tremendously. I got my first good night's sleep on the 11th after taking the antivert. I also began taking mega vitamins and supplements. I am drinking gallons of water to flush out my system as well.
As of today, I am doing well. The feelings we've all desribed have subsided and a mild version comes and goes but responds to the antivert. I am looking forward to weeks ahead in the future when I don't have to take any of this stuff. I am sick of medications, pills and doctors. I have no support person but I think it is better this way.
