Hi. You say “your old fainting problem”. That caught my eye, you see, because I’m making an appointment to see the doctor today due to vertigo. Sure, you get head spins when weening off Effexor, but I’ve been completely off since February 1, this year. Had some head spins. Now, crazy vertigo. Happens while sitting! I’m going to see what my doctor thinks, but I’m very concerned. I was in the middle of a staff meeting and just sort of listed off to the right. It was all I could do to “maintain”. Covered with sweat and thought I was going to throw up.

Kind of hoping it’s a sinus or ear thing, but who knows.

I wonder if it’s a withdrawal issue?

@notaround- I'm sorry your depression has returned that badly. Mine did too and for a month I felt awful, just awful. I had to go back on something. I was put on Zoloft and later Bupropion. I wont take the chance of finding out if I need an antidepressant again. I know that I will. So I'm settled with that fact. There are many many people who taper off of them for various reasons however they forget the reason that they were started in the first place. Make sure that you don't let this go on too long as your brain adapts to less serotonin. Would you consider ever going on an antidepressant again?
