I went to my Doctor with a few complaints about some aches and pains about a year ago. He decided I was depressed and put my on Effexor 75mg. At first I had no side effects from the drug. Then I forgot to take 2 doses. I was outside picking up leaves when I went into this terrible time of vertigo. I couldnt walk my whole world was spinning. I immediately thought it was because of missing the doses. The vertigo lasted 3 days. My Doctor told me it was no way caused by The Pill and that It was most likey an inner ear problem. I decided to cut the pill in half on my own. Even with that little of a dose, if I forget to take it I immediatley start to feel side effects such as a very heavy feeling in the top of my head. vertigo, confusion, low concentration, fuzzy eye sight and with any noses, or even if my husband starts to talk I get a jolt like feeling in my head. On an everyday basis while taking the small doses I have to be carefull not to go down to a laying position, or change my position to fast because I will have vertigo. Not to mention my libido is gone. No one told me of all these side effects, I wouldnt of ever started it!! Today would have been day 3 of cutting my half of a pill in half but when I woke up I was having all of the side effects I mentioned above so I had to take the whole half which is only 37.5 mg!! How Do I get off this nasty pill??
