Vertigo (dizziness) can definitely be an Effexor withdrawal symptom. Many posters on this thread have experienced this; you may find OTC Dram*mine, or Bon*ne helpful. On 4/15, I will be a year out from my last dose (tapered off slowly from 25mg) and I still carry Dram*mine with me as the dizziness can come on unexpectedly. Vertigo was not an issue for me until I quit Effexor. You are wise to get it checked out since the dizziness seems to have restarted and is worse.

The only thing is that this is different from the occasionally dizziness or head spins. This is full blown vertigo that has me falling over. It’s scary! But since it’s only been a couple months, I’m still chalking it up to withdrawal. We’ll see what the doc says. (She’ll probably put me back on meds!)
