Thanks!! Yes, I weaned off with my psychiatrist's instructions and I never want to see it again, lol! I was living in constant fear of missing a dose for some reason, like if I had an accident or just forgot.It was awful. Please keep seeking answers and don't let anyone push you into something you're not comfortable taking. Speaking for myself, I've been so anxious to be well, and I'm the type of person that follows my doctor's advice. But this particular medicine absolutely had to go. I hope you find something that works for your situation. And know that at least one person out here cares, what happens to you! ❤️

@vicki58 Can I ask what, if any medication , you are currently taking for bipolar/depression?
I am currently trying Escitalopram for anxiety, BPPV, and vestibular migraine. I think the anxiety is actually triggered by the dizziness.
The side effects seem to be dizziness, nausea, foggy head, though not nearly on the same scale as the Venlafaxine was.
I am currently waiting (and praying) for the dizziness to subside and to just feel normal.
