I had the exact same responce - the spaciness, I say that my head feels swimmy. The worst is when I have to shut one eye to focus; it feels like I've had WAY too much to drink and I can't stand up. I'm in the process of weaning off Effexor, and winding up with Lamictal. The headaches are still really bad, but it's just the first week. I still have the swings - what you described, oversensitive, crying, etc. I know it takes along time to get the right cocktail...good luck to you, and all of us trying to get off this E-vil drug.
> Hey, I'm on 300mg XR per day and I start to get withdrawal symptom @ just about the 24 hr mark from the last dose. My doctor just had me divide the dose. It seems my brain can't deal without it, I'm oversensitive, crying, headachey, spacey, I don't look forward to going off it. You've confirmed my suspicions that it would be a rough ride.
