déjà vu as a side effect of venlafaxine

[cimorene]

I was taking a very high dose of venlafaxine for years, maybe about ten of them, not sure.

I've mentioned before how it made my sleep odd: waking constantly and easily, extra vivid dreams, lots of lucid and semi-lucid dreams, talking in my sleep and thrashing and kicking in my sleep.

But I also had vivid, very frequent déjà vu during that time, and I didn't realize it was a side effect until I quit the medicine and it stopped.

Thanks to this nervous breakdown I'm back on it temporarily, but at a very low dose that doesn't seem to be having any side effects, including those.

So glad your doc is on top of what you need. Best of luck with the med adjustments.
