side effects and staggering dosage?

Posted by johnjeff56 on September 12, 2004, at 17:04:41

hi. i'm new to this board but been having some difficulty with my effexor for awhile. was wondering if anyone else has experienced what i'm about to describe. i've known about the tremors and dizziness but didn't put my feeling down to the effexor until yesterday. for some months i experience what i call the wobblies. kind of like my head isn't firmly attached to my neck. also, the base of my neck has felt like there's a vice grip on it. i've experienced tremors in the morning, but they soon disapate. but lately (the last month or so) the tremors have been fairly constant. nothing too alarming until this week when they became somewhat dibilitating. yesterday, i thought to take one pill in the morning and one at night. almost immediately the tremors and wobblies stopped, altho i noticed driving home from work that i was experiencing slight anxiety. when i got home, took the second pill and that worked. today i've taken one this morning, and one about six hours later. by the way, i'm taking 150 mg, two 75 mgs a day.

does anyone have any experience with any of this, in terms of staggering the dosage or with the physical symptoms? i called my doctor, but can't get an appointment till the end of the month. thanks.
