Hi Karen-
I too had the dizziness and blurry vision- I could hardly move my head without getting that "I am drunk and I just got off the roller coaster" feeling. I got a MUGA and brain MRI- everything was fine.

My doc immediately put me on every week dose. That really helped. The following week I was at every two weeks and now I am back to every 3 weeks.

I found that taking Effexor (for my hot flashes) helped my stress level go down too. In the end, I think my Effexor has helped me more than anything else.

The effexor is given for depression. For cancer patients, its given for the hot flash control. The side effect for me was feeling less stressed.

Hang in there!

Maria
