In reply to Effexor makes me dizzy, posted by DN on July 9, 2001, at 13:43:30
> Currently at 225mg of effexorXR for about 2 weeks and feel extremely dizzy. Has anyone run into this side effect. How long does it take to go away.
At what dosage did you start? At what increments have you increased dosage? I think the answers to these questions may help you. I also started at 37.5 then 75, etc. and experienced dizziness with each dose increase. I purposely asked for regular Effexor after awhile so that I could increase dosages in smaller amounts (i.e. halving the 75mg tablets). That helped me adjust to the increased dosages better (still a small amount of dizziness with each increase but very brief). I have been at 262.5 for one month and feel quite good and no longer experience 'Effexor dizziness'. One thing: the idea to ask for the regular Effexor tablets was my idea; my GP thought it odd, but granted my wishes. I am not sure how/if your doc will respond. Hope this helps.
