hey sean,
how much effexor are you on? when i take too much effexor (for me: over 75mg) i have visual disturbances like you are writing about. at 150 mgs i was hallucinating so madly that the pdoc at mental health wanted to put me on antipsychotics: my bf nixed that idea, suggesting that perhaps the psychosis was caused by effexor. later, i found a decent pdoc, and he told me what i had been experiencing was serotonin syndrome. i am not suggesting that that is what you have, because i was also (besides hallucinating/visual disturbances) really quite sick: fever, shaking chills, asthmatic attacks, high anxiety, convulsions... i can't believe the carelessness with which doctors prescribe drugs. i had no idea what a crazy ride i was in for. no one caught it, and if it hadn't been for my bf watching my back, i could've died.
good luck. tai
