Thanks linkadge,
Are you an ex-Effexoree? :-)
If so what sort of withdrawal did you have and how long would you say it took before you were "right" again? What level were you on and how long did you take it?
I have read elsewhere that my symptoms are akin to low blood pressure, which can be either caused by (a) dilated blood vessels (Effexor), (b) lower blood volume (iron and dehydration) or (c) an enlarged heart. Once I've seen my physciatrist for (hopefully) the last time (two weeks from now) I'm set to see my regular doctor "in case" there's something else a miss. Here's hoping it isn't an enlarged heart (the first steps towards heart failure....)
Rest assured, I'm now leading a healthy(ier) life style: nutrition and exercise - although I had to ease up on the impact level as I was getting palpitations upon exertion - nice ;-)
Cheers,
Miike
