i took effexor for years with no issues except really bad insomnia that made me burnt out at the tend.... When I stopped effexor, I developped dysautonomia (gastroparesia AND POTS). My bllod pressure does not drop when I stand up but my heart rate goes from 60 to 150 as soon as I stand up. Doctors just say I'm disabled for life now... Did not dare to "try" anything on my own..; but now I know this drug is sometimes prescribed for dysautonomia, I'm wondering if doctors aren't just lying to me because actually effexor withdrawal has caused a iatrogenic condition....
