Hi. My name is Monica. I have been on Effexor XR for about 5 months now and it really has helped with my depression alot! I'm very glad i decided to take it. One thing, though. I've read all these comments, and have identified with the symptoms some of you have reported in withdrawal. I haven't stopped taking it yet but twice i have missed a day taking it(right now being one of those times) and have experienced very withdrawal like symptoms: lightheadness, a feeling like i am moving in a dream-like state, inability to focus my eyes on things. I woke up like this today because i missed my dosage yesterday. It's scaring me! I'm glad to know that you guys have gone through this as well and i am not alone. My question is, how long should you stay on this before you decide to taper off of it. And will i feel this way when i am off of it for good? I don't want to live everyday like this! Thanks for your timeMonica
