My mother's vertigo has increased after stopping Venlor. Why?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your situation. However, she should not suddenly stop your Venlor-XR (Venlafaxine Effexor) 75 mg. she may have withdrawal symptoms. Instead, she should taper off gradually if she wants to stop. Otherwise, she should continue her Venlor-XR 75 mg.

She should follow the below lifestyle steps:

1) She should do exercises daily for 30 to 45 minutes, like at least going for a walk.

2) She should do meditation for 20 minutes daily, sit at one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on her normal breathing, do not stop or force herself to control her thoughts. Just let it be.

3) She should eat healthy home-cooked foods, avoid junk foods.

4) She must drink enough water.

5) She should spend quality time with friends and family daily.

6) She should spend time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, learning new skills or languages or musical instruments.

7) She should take enough 7 to 8 hours of sleep daily.

8) She must avoid tobacco or alcohol, or any substance abuse.

9) Give her reason to live her life, do not just spend it.

10) She should continue medications that her current doctor prescribes.

I hope this was helpful.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

She needs to take capsule Venlor-XR 37.5 mg. Then She should continue that dose for eight weeks. Then take the same dose for the alternate day for another eight weeks. Then take twice per week for another eight weeks and then stop it. She should continue Serta 25 mg (Sertraline) and Clonotril 0.25 mg (Clonazepam).

I hope this was helpful.
