I have been on effexor for over a year now and am experiencing a lot of the side effects most people mention. I too can't sleep throught the night, my hand swell and I too have those awful dizzy spells, sometimes so bad that I almost pass out. The worst for me though is forgetting a dose (which doesn't happen often). I take 150 mg a night and if I missed it, I am sick within 10 hours. The next morning I have to worst head spins, yes, even moving my eyes causes it to happen, I'm so nauseated going anywhere is almost impossible! I'm so glad to have found this site. I know these symptoms aren't in my head and there are others out there who can give advice. I would like to wean myself off of this medication but I'm terrified of the effects. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Nancyk
