>I am experiecing dizziness coming off of Prozac. Does anyone have any experience with this?
The addition of low-dose Prozac (e.g., 5-10 mg/day) to Effexor may make it easier to withdraw from Effexor.

> If the problem of dizziness persists, you may want to try ginger root, one or two 550-mg capsules three times a day. Partial or complete amelioration of dizziness (and nausea) may be within 24 to 48 hours. Treatment with ginger root shoiuld be continued for approximately 2 weeks after complete discontinuation of Effexor.

> Ginger root has been widely used as an alternative agent in disequilibrium associated with motion. The sites of action are presumed to be autonomic centers of the central nervous system. A local effect on the gastrointestinal tract blocking nausea feedback has also been proposed.
