Does anybody else have trouble keeping their balance on Effexor. It only happens if I turn quickly and decide to go in another direction, but it is troubling. Anyone else???

How long have you been taking this Rx at your current dose?

I ask because if there have been recent changes, or especially if this is a new med for you, it can take awhile for the s/e's to subside.

I actually have this as an anxiety symptom, and I don't take meds. Did you ever experience this previous to taking the Efffexor? If so, you might want to try some breathing exercises, in case this is also just anxiety related.

Wishing you the best, and hoping you get relief soon.

I have been on this dose for three weeks but noticed the clumsiness when I first started about 6 weeksago.My husband tells me I am just getting old and maybe he is right.

Thank you so much for your input = hope it gets better.

Ouch! I think that comment would make my anxiety worse! Lol!;p

If this doesn't improve in the next couple of weeks, a consult with your doctor may be in order...especially if you find that you can't fuction well with this s/e and it seems to not abate.
