"only sexual side effects the first two times I took it"
just so you don't translate this wrong, the sexual side effects were there the entire time I took it, but what I meant was I took Effexor during two different time periods over about 3 years
as far as dizzyness: It wouldn't make me dizzy when I took it, only the first time I tried to stop taking it or when I missed a dose. The second time I stopped no problems or dizzyness. I then restarted it a couple years later, stayed on it again for about 6 months and stopped cold turkey again with no withdrawals.
But definitely taper and don't do it cold turkey just to be safe. My doc just had no clue at the time and never mentioned it, so that is why I quit cold turkey
