> I sleep 12 hours a night and still am drowsy all day. I take 150mg xr (effex), my eyes are cloudy, I am having weird vision focusing problems they focus in and out etc. I dont know what to do, I always feel so foggy that it almost hurts, I always scratch my eyes and wonder what the heck am i gonna do. I have to drink coffee and diet soda all day in order to just walk or do simple things like do the dishes.
If you've been on this dosage for a while and the symptoms haven't remitted, then this isn't the medication for you. But then, I'm sure you already know that. If your side effects don't decrease with time, then you don't have much choice other than to go off of the Effexor. Do it slowly and make sure to get a small amount of Prozac or another SSRI to take should the withdrawal effects become troublesome. A lot of people here, including myself, have survived the withdrawal without horrible problems.K
