Over the past couple of weeks I've been feeling really dizzy while I lie down, and while I'm sitting. also over the past couple months I've been having terrible headaches.

YES!!! I am on Effexor (have been for years now) and I notice when I forget to take a dose I will get dizziness even while lying down and headaches. It's delayed by a couple of days from the dose I missed but it happens. I thought I had an eye problem but then put two and two together. This is why you cannot just stop a medication. You have to be weened off of it. Health Question & Answer
Yes, these are actually normal side effects of these drugs. But let your doctor know, it may help just to adjust a dosage, they can check your levels to make sure they are therapeutic, and not an overload. Health Question & Answer
