[QUOTE="Lulu, post: 115054, member: 4493"] Just putting in my experience quickly--I had a terrible time going off of Effexor a few years back. My vision lagged, I felt like I was levitating, and I had awful, vivid dreams. I also was not myself by any stretch of the imagination. My psychiatrist WAS weaning me off, but after about three weeks it was still so bad that she put me on a tiny dose of Prozac for about two weeks to go with the last tiny doses of Effexor. Could you ask the doctor about that? I don't know if that regimen helped or not but eventually it was out of my system. I had a similar problem going off of Celexa (different psychiatrist). From my experiences, I can say that psychiatrists have NO IDEA about the effects of going off these drugs, and every patient is so different. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
