Hi all,
I have been on Venlafaxine/Effexor for around 18 months. I was initially put up to a dose of 250mg but am now down to 112.5mg and have been on this dose since early 2013.
I occasionally get spells of dizziness/head zappyness that is rather unpleasant and sometimes an upset stomach and I am getting a bit worried about it.
I wanted to ask fellow anti-D users, and particularly those on Venlafaxine/Effexor, whether it is normal to have occasional symptoms such as these when on such medication, and not just necessarily at the start of treatment? I.e. is it the "necessary evil" of anti-Ds?
I'd appreciate feedback
Paul
