Meeto Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I wanted to know if anyone's driving has been affected in any form; panic, concentration, syncope, dizziness etc. When this all started started for me I would black out and appear near my destination with no recollection of me getting there. This happened a few times while walking, but primarily in the car. I also seem to have trouble concentrating while driving and at times can't remember parts of my car ride for a few minutes.

ultimatumprisoncell Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 This has affected me horribly. Shortly after I began weaning from Effexor is when I first noticed it. Not long after I found a Journal Abstract warning that driving while attempting to wean or discontinue from Effexor IS DANGEROUS. I've no doubt there's A crossover in this pathology to other psychiatric meds as well. If the article is not listed in the Resources sections of the site I will happily provide a link.
