Hi I v been taking venlafaxine cap 75mg daily for approx 18months.. just found out i m 7wks pregnant so i stopped taking them 4 days ago.. how long does the dizziness and uneasiness in the head take to clear.. am i doing the best thing and is it putting me or the fetous at any risk
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.
