Hi,
I took effexor xr for about 18 months & was taking 150mg twice a day. I started to have the "tracer" or "trailer" effect too. It only lasted a short while right when I woke up in the mornings. My pdoc said he had heard of that, but not to worry about it, so I didn't. Unfortunately, the effexor pooped-out and withdrawal was TERRIBLE. While it worked tho', it worked good and not everyone has horrible withdrawal.
Good luck,
Carly
> i've been on effexor xr for approx 2 months now, 225 mg in the morning. i've noticed lately that when i first get up, before i take the medicine, if i wave my hand in front of my face (or another object moves by), it has a trailer behind it. (by trailer i mean like a tail following behind, kind of hallucinogenic) very weird. anyone else experience this?
