For most everyone tapering off Effexor the symptoms are the worse when you get down to 37.5mg and lower. I took BENADRYL 50mg every 4 to 6 hours and this eliminated the dizziness and vertigo. I also took DRAMAMINE one pill every 4 to 6 hours and this eliminated the nausea. These two drugs were a miracle for me and got me through the withdrawl symptoms. I removed the white granules out of my Effexor capsule daily so that my tapering was very slow and gradule. You may need to slow down a bit and wait for you body to adjust to each dose decrease. You will get past this and succeed. I've been off Effexor completely now for 7 weeks. Good luck.
