In reply to Cannot focus on effexor..., posted by ADJ on September 21, 2002, at 5:20:18
I would talk to your doc about changing meds. I was on Effexor for 6 weeks and when I increased my dosage past 75 mg, I felt extremely dizzy,"spacey", and experienced strong feelinigs of disconnection. Other than the depression I had battled, it was the worst six weeks of my life. I am currently weaning off Effexor and am down to 37.5mg... started 10 mg Lexapro 2 weeks ago. I feel so much better and the depression and anxiety have subsided. Now i am battling severe insomnia and don't know if it is related to the discontinuation of effexor or the lexapro? Any advice would be appreciated.
