I started Effexor about 2 months ago and was up to 150mg day and I was also already taking Trazodone for sleep. I had about a half a dozen days where I would get a wierd dizziness off and on throughout the day. It started up again one night while laying in bed and actually made my eyes roll downward for a second. In the morning, the "episodes of dizziness" progressed to the point where it was happening constantly. It was almost like an electical charge in my brain and getting dizzy was an after-effect of these charges. It got to the point where I was feeling tingling down my right arm to my palm & fingertips whenever I got the "charges". I slowly discontinued using Effexor and I've been back on Prozac for a couple days now and I've never had any side effects from that. Has anybody ever had this type of experience with Effexor?
I also have nightmares (waking up with my fists clenched), night sweats and see "trails" sometimes
