I'm so glad I found this website! My doctor weaned me off Effexor after being on it 8
months by having me take four days each of the lower doses. I have been off of it for a
HUGE total of 3 days. For the last 2 days, I've had major dizziness OFTEN and I can cry
at the drop of a hat. I thought I was going crazy or needing to call up Doc for another
appointment. All she told me was to expect "flu-like symptoms" not weird "flighty" brain
sensations and MORE feelings of depression. From reading through your comments, I
feel like I'm not alone and I'll give myself a couple of weeks to feel like an actual person
again.
Effexor was a GREAT help when I needed it most! It was well worth these withdrawls IF
they subside soon!?
