Hey guys i have been off effexor for nearly 2 years. My visions still not the best more so in my right eye. How i know its effexor? If i ever missed a pill my eyes would spasm/shake side to side really fast... Really hard to explain. But on two occasions i took a pill at night after stopping because i felt really really strange and both nights i woke with a pretty intense pain in the right eye, the 2nd night was weird AF like a twisting sensation in the back of my head the right side were my sight is much worse than my left and the eye doesnt feel right. I want a brain scan but docs say too dangerous??? Im worried because my memorys really bad now too. I had near perfect eyesight and memory before this ass of a drug i feel doomed like i have no purpose i want it to end but something inside myself wont allow me to kill myself.

I started Effexor for about a week, and I noticed that right away while taking this medication I had blurred vision and bad neck pain also constipation and trouble peeing. Not sure what all these symptoms meant but it scared me into getting off this drug ASAP. I been off for 2 days now but now experiencing some bad withdraws like headaches, crying, sleepy, and chills. This is some serious stuff because I was only taking the med for a week and quit cold turkey and I'm still experiencing side effects. I will definitely not be taking anything such as these meds for anti-depression.

I took venlafaxine 37.5mg XR and had similar vision problems. Blurred/Double visions and poor vision in low light which agitated me while driving on winter evenings. No blackouts though. There was even a site looking for people to share this particular low light vision problem.
Very sleepy afternoons but brisk and sharp morning moods. Drinking while on it causes wild mood swings. What I read is that this or these SNRI/SSRIs affect the tear ducts that might cause the vision problems. I am trying other meds but Venlafaxine brought the best self out, at least in the mornings. I have to try it with eye drops (lubricant to compensate for lack of tear) along with good diet (salmon).

I was on Effexor last year and my eye sight was affected extremely severely. It crept up on me at first, with lack of depth perception (which I experienced when walking up and down stairs, and was unable to judge where/when to step.) I then developed bluriness in one eye. Finally, I developed a squint, with both my eyes turning in towards my nose. I was horrified and felt like I was trapped in a nightmare. I went to see an eye doctor and a normal optician and they told me my eyes were no longer functioning properly together as a pair. I was told I might need a specialist lens made for my eye glasses. I have never in my entire life had any problems of this sort. It was very clearly linked to the Effexor and got worse with each dose I took. I started wearing an eye patch indoors when watching TV, as one eye was able to focus on it's own with the second (worst) one covered up.
Eventually I had to admit defeat and come off the Effexor. My eye problems went away soon after and thank God things are now completely normal again. I would never take Effexor again as a result of this truly FRIGHTENING experience. I did love the way Effexor made me feel emotionally and mentally however. But these side effects were not something anybody could ever force themselves to tolerate.

I was on both AD and Tranquilizers and am going through horrible withdrawal now. Having debilitating visual disturbances. Visual snow, palinopsia. Hope this goes with time as i have seen improvements.
