HI all,
I am having a hard time once again with Effexor. Oddly enough, it seems that perhaps I should have stayed at 37.5 mg as going up to 75 killed my balance again, visuals acting up, etc. I lowered my dose back to 37.5 and for 3 days it was all I could do to get up and get to work in the AM. So now, I am off it entirely and feel just horrible.
Thinking either I go back to 37.5 - it’s XR btw - or I see if Dr will entertain Pristiq or something else.
When I first started the Effexor this time, my second round with it, I felt better in about 4 days, less vertigo etc and was able to resume my walking and exercising routine. Going up in dose shot it all down.
I see some conversation re Pristiq here, but it’s from several years ago so I thought I would check to see if there is any new info anyone has to share.
If not, and you took Effexor, where did you go next?
Thanks 
Kathleen
