In reply to effexor xr please help me, posted by lilsis on September 25, 2002, at 19:33:02

I was on effexor for six weeks, starting at 37.5 mg, and with every dosage increase, I also experienced that "spaced out" , dizzy feeling. Could no longer tolerate it and am now weaning off. The withdrawal is awful...I am down to 37.5 mg but am experiencing severe nausea, insomnia, and anxiety. I know it takes awhile to get used to a new medication, but if your symptoms persist, I would ask your doc for a med switch. I thought six weeks of feeling drugged up was enough and now I am on Lexapro which luckily, does not give me the dizziness, etc. that effexor did. Now the battle is getting through the withdrawls of the effexor.
