I haven't been able to take my Effexor XR pill for 3 days because I ran out, and yesterday I went to the pharmacy HOPING I would finally get my pills but they gave me my birth control ones instead :-( It's their fault because my dad called in for my Effexor. I'm feeling extremely dizzy and every time I turn my head I feel like I'm going to pass out. It's hard for me to lay down and sit back up without feeling dizzy, also I'm hearing strange noises in my head, I think they might be shocks. I've been reading up on the withdrawals symptoms for Effexor and I didn't know they were so awful! I'm a little scared since no one thinks it's that serious but me, but my real question is: Is it okay if I go back to taking Lexapro until I get more pills? I have 20 mgs but I could cut the pill in half since I'm worried it will screw me up more. I'm willing to take them though because I can't stand feeling this way. Is it safe to take them? I have taken one before when I didn't have my pills and I was fine, I think I'm just being really paranoid. I don't want anything to happen to me. Please answer, thank you so much!!
Effexor is a nightmare to get off.
