In reply to Weaning from Effexor - Eye exam, posted by Seraphim on May 4, 2001, at 9:11:48
> My vision also deteriorated as I was weaning from Effexor (also happened as I was just starting on it). I've been off it for a few days now, and my vision is getting much better. I think it's whenever there is a change in dosage that vision changes as well.
I also had the terrible what I call the "eyeball positional vertigo" with the electic shock sensation and roaring sound in the ears many people have described. It was very severe every time I did a step decrease. Then it subsides after a week or so. I don't recall the tunnel-vision or spots though. Good luck with the weaning.
Irene> My vision has deteriorated over the past year. Since I have been weaning from the Effexor I have experienced more blurred vision, tunnel-vision, spots in the peripheral, and the wiggly, electric feeling. Thank God not all at once or all the time. Yesterday I went to the eye doctor on my lunch hour. It was just a regular eye exam, but it made me dizzy, extremely nauseas (threw up a few times) and brought on a killer migraine. That's never happened to me before. I didn't go back to work, but crawled into bed. Anyone else experienced anything similar?
