Oh my goodness, I hate this drug. I went to my dr. about 6 months ago with mild depression. He says I have just the thing and puts me on effexor xr. I have 3 children, a full time job, and college part time. I did not have the time or energy to put up with the side effects. Now I finally decided to get off this stuff and try something else with less side effects. I did the tapering off, just like the dr. told me and as I sit and type this I am so dizzy and fatigued I can hardly function. My dr. prescribed me Antivert for the dizziness, well that just made me so doped up that I really couldn't function. I can't believe someone would give a person this kind of drug with these side effects. I don't know how long this dizziness and the sort of tingling sensation I feel will last, but lord I hope it ends soon. I also have been extremely agitated and depressed in just 6 days since I took my last pill. God please help my family, they think I'm a terrible person who is on drugs.
