My wife took effexor for almost 10 years and she weaned of slowly in 2018. She had to do it slowly because otherwise she became dizzy. Now since a year she the dizziness comes and goes throughout the day. She is in generally unhappy and she cannot socialize. She is coping with psychological problems. Her memory is very bad, can’t remember much from the past. And shortterm memory is also not good. I think she has permanent damage from the medicine. When she tapered off she didn’t use any supplement due to lack of knowledge. Wich supplements can be used in her situation. Do you have any suggestion. Wat do you use as supplement

Hi Metin, Same issues with me ref Memory, dizzyness, On Effexor 75 mg April 17 to Oct 22 hyper slow titration down from Oct 18 . Have you since got any long term recovery prognosis? from respondents?. I have read EFFEXOR gets absorbed into the bodies cells / fats / brain & effectively seeps out over time. So, until your body flushes it out, your are still "taking" the drug. This can take for YEARS.
