Hi.

It is the best thing to avoid venlafaxine for now, but if at all you start to feel the need to restart the medication, visit your psychiatrist who will review your case, the pros and cons, risks versus benefit and decide what is best for you. As for the dizziness, you can take doxinate (up to 3 tablets a day) to help with that.

Best wishes.
