I quit 150mg Effexor XR 5 days ago. Had been taking it since 11/5/02 originally at 300mg daily, then cut myself to 1/2 a dose about 18 months ago. So far, other than a couple panic attacks and spontaneous crying episodes, I feel great. I feel slightly stoned?? but not taking anything else. Is that the dizzy sensation? My eyes are a bit blurrier but I'm sleeping through the night for once. I've been watching what I eat--lots of salads, veggies, good stuff! and trying to keep the stressors out of my way, being proactive about situations before they come up. With 4 kids and a husband working out of town, it's been tough but very manageable. Now I wonder if maybe Effexor was hindering me before? I keep waiting, like everyone else, for the other shoe to drop. I plan on using my treadmill tonight for something other than a clothes hanger, and eating a meal of fish and veggies to feed my brain.
Oh yeah--it's screwing with my monthly cycle as well. Anyone else have this happen?
