In reply to dizzy from withdrawal from effexor ..help, posted by kelmel on January 19, 2003, at 20:15:46
> has anyone experienced this dizzy withdrawal. i was on the 75mg for 6 months then cut to 37 1/2 for the past month then took the med everyother day and now stoped for the third day and feel horrible , when will this stop ??? can anyone help
I was up to 225 mg of effexor xr, and when I switched to Lexapro, my doctor originally had me on a 3-week taper. I was so dizzy and my anxiety had me physically shaking, she ended up increasing the taper amount and having me on a slower taper of 6 weeks. It helps if you are tapering to another medication (when I tapered off Celexa the first time, I had no replacement med, and it took 2 months before I was no longer dizzy and didn't need some Celexa in my system). So go slower on the taper, and I hope that works out for you!
