Symptoms: Eye floaters, Vision distortion, Difficulty focusing
I started 32.5 Effexor for mild anxiety and menopausal night sweats. The side effects were horrible. I couldn't see and driving was impossible. I felt woozy. I took it for about 2 weeks. My internist said I'd have to taper off. I took it every other day for 4 weeks.
It's been 4 months since stopping Effexor and my vision is still weird. Hard to focus both long distance and close up. I've had two ophthalmologists say my eyes are healthy. My eye floaters, only a few, are very obvious and obstruct my vision too.
