I forgot to take my Effexor medication yesterday and I am experiencing a lot of side effects (dizziness, numbness). Of course, I took it as usual today, but what do you recommend I do so that I can be functional today?

If you forgot to take your medication yesterday and are experiencing significant side effects, it is important to take your medication as usual today to help alleviate the symptoms. You may also consider taking medication to reduce dizziness or nausea, staying calm at home, and avoiding frequent changes in position. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult a pharmacist. If you ever forget to take your medication again, it is best to take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next one at the scheduled time. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
