> With regards to the withdrawals, I know exactly how you feel. I am in the process of withdrawing also but because I take capsules I have one day on the 75mg Effexor, 2 days off. I so know where you're coming from with the weird vertigo feeling. I almost feel like I'm drunk ALL day and I can't drive anywhere or do anything too strenuous - it's very frustrating !!!

Thank you for your supportive message. Actually, I am getting off Effexor, because of the side effects (I'm having terrible night sweats), and my doctor put me on Remeron, which seems to be better than Effexor for me.
I hope things go well with you too.
Take care,
best of luck,cem
