Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: 3 hours ago | Replies (6412)Comment receiving replies
I've been on Venlafaxine for six weeks now. Due to side effects my doctor is having me go off of the meds. I was taking 75mg daily, and I'm on day 5 of 7 days taking 50mg. I feel very dizzy, it's hard to focus,tired because I keep waking up at night. Is this normal symptoms with going off of this medication?

Yes there are many symptoms coming off of it. The only way I was able to come off was taking lowest dose for two weeks while taking Prozac.
sunflower More common than we know

Vertigo is definitely a symptom of withdrawal. Take it slow, it will subside if you are tapering slowly!
