Any time you feel sleep and dizzy, you shouldn't drive, regardless of what's causing it. I would play it safe. Effexor can cause drowsiness and dizziness, which will subside in time. Maybe plan your dosages around your driving times. For Ex: I take my Effexor in the A.M. So I take my first Effexor the minute I get to work. Hope someone else can give you better advice. Be careful!
