I personally don't have a similar experience, but I have read a lot of posts of people in your situation. I think that you might be better off starting the Zoloft now (maybe a low dose), along with the Effexor. Keep taking the Zoloft as you gradually discontinue the Effexor.
> I am currently on what is now just 37.5 mg of Effexor. First time on this drug and I can't get off of it. Dizzy, sick at stomach, headache. I have been on Zoloft before and had minimal problems, if any, coming off of it. Dr. wants to switch me to Zoloft and have me try to come off of this instead since I had better luck with it. Has anyone had a similar experience?
