Seeing double symptoms and conditions

While on Effexor XR: aggressive disposition

Withdrawals: severe dizziness, vivid and unpleasant dreams, sometimes nightmares which were unrelated to anything going on in my life. The dizziness was the worst. I sometimes felt as though I was seeing double, and could barely walk straight if I hadn't taken my high 300 mg dose in one or two days. God forbid I lose a bottle of pills or have insurance company complications.

I was on Depakote CR for 2.5 weeks 1000mg. When I contacted my pdoc she and told her the side effects: (lethargic, dizziness, tired, seeing double), she told me to stay on the medication. I had difficulty at work so I dropped myself down to 500mg (even had trouble with the 500mg trying to work). I am now seeing a new pdoc and told her the story. She is weaning me off the med, I am now taking 250mg for the next 4 days and starting Ripersdal (however you spell it).

im into my 1st month and everything is going good. after reading all these postings im wondering if i really need it. until now i never realized how crazy everyone sounds, seeing double, gagging, weight gain, body shakes,door bell ringing in your ears on tuesdays,. what next? you'll see a UFO? come on people....... what you need is a drink.
