Tricia, The withdrawal from Effexor can last up to 2 months. The drug is in all of your tissues. You have to do a very slow taper. Try taking dramamine, or mecklazine for the dizziness. Both are over the counter meds used for dizziness. Ask your doctor for one or two doses of Prozac. Prozac has a much longer half life than Effexor. I read some people got a lot of relief tapering off of Effexor when they took a dose of Prozac. You will be fine. It will go away. It just is going to take time.
