Medication Toxicity

I’ve been experiencing hallucinations which I thought was my Schizoid Affective Disorder devolving into full-blown schizophrenia. In case that might be happening, my doctor has increased my dosage of Seroquel.

But he also fears I may be experiencing toxicity from Effexor, which I take for bipolar disorde, and that the hallucinations may be caused by this toxicity. So he has reduced my dosage of Effexor.

Nothing has changed in the first week of the adjusted dosages.

Has anyone else ever experienced Effexor toxicity? If so, what was your experience?

So far, no, not toxicity, but the withdrawal from it can be something else. When my dose is reduced or I have run out I get what I call The Snaps. My attention ‘pops’ from one thing to the next in such a jarring manner that it’s like someone snapping their fingers next to my ears on one side and then the other. I’ve been having such good luck with sarcosine that I’m going to ask my doctor about trying to go off the Effexor and just use the supplement instead.
