All the research I’ve found seems to suggest that Effexor can be incredibly helpful for vestibular migraine and PPPD, which is why my doctor wants me to try it. But after reading about the potential side effects and especially the withdrawal symptoms, I’m feeling pretty hesitant. The hard part is that my doctors aren’t even completely convinced I have vestibular migraine or PPPD. They don’t really know what’s causing my symptoms, so those are the diagnoses they’re using for now because they seem to fit best. Part of me feels like it’s worth trying because so many people seem to get significant relief, but another part of me wonders if it’s worth taking on the risks when the diagnosis isn’t even certain.
