Effexor withdrawal
I tried to titrate down in order to try Lexapro (I was on
Effexor
300 and still depressed) but my depression worsened and my anxiety skyrocketed. I don’t know if it was the
Effexor
withdrawal or the Lexapro. Only tried for 2 weeks on Lexapro 10 mg and had to go back to
Effexor
. Help!

Am I irritable or not tolerating b.s. well?
I missed 2 nights of work last week because of a massive headache brought on by stopping
Effexor
cold turkey. I missed 2 nights of work and tonight my coworkers have both made biting comments about me going home sick. I feel frustrated and angry over this.

New here with severe anxiety/depression
I went back to my doc and started back on
effexor
and ativan to get me through until
effexor
kicks in. She told me she thinks I also have PTSD. As of right now a week and a half into meds the panic attacks are getting less severe but the anxiety and the DEEP depression is here.

Doing well but....
Was in
Effexor
xr for over 5 years. Went off in spring 2017. I think it helped me. Should I go back on something OR is it the damn Pred. and symptoms of it and the PMR. I am sick of feeling crappy. And as I said ‘I have my shit together’ so I am very keen on living a healthy happy life!!!

Hello!
He tapered me off the
Effexor
to see if I wouldn't need it anymore. I did well for about a year or so but fell into that hole again in 2009 and needed to be hospitalized. I was put on
Effexor
again and it worked. I was good for another 10 years.

Help me please.
Effexor
tapering is killing me. And my doctor took me off of levothyroxine cold turkey because my blood work looks good. I feel absolutely insane. I'm constantly panicking. I feel physically ill. I'm having crazy neurological symptoms.

Lexapro 30mg to Effexor?
My doctor is recommending switching from Lexapro 30mg to
Effexor
. Does anyone have experience switching over to
Effexor
? She told me I could just stop the lexapro and start taking the
Effexor
. Or that I could cut the lexapro in half for a few days and add the
Effexor
to that.

Weight loss after Effexor xr
Anyway, after I came off
Effexor
xr (with minimal withdrawal for those that are curious) I dropped to where I currently sit at 107lbs. It really freaked me out! I don't ever remember being this small! Has anyone else had this?

Venlafaxine?
Before I start them again, I’m curious if other people on this forum have taken venlafaxine (or
Effexor
) and have had similar issues with the side effects?

Menopause and depression
I struggle with depression and take
Effexor
. I had a hysterectomy in March and was given no hormones after and I struggled bad. My family Doc put me on a low dose birth control and it’s been 2 months and I’m still struggling with depression and fatigue and crying. Don’t know what to do.

Depression or medicine
I take klonopin, buspirone,
effexor
, seroquel and heart and cholesterol medicine. I have had these episodes in the past, but now that I am 70 years old, I can't seem to get past this one. Been this way for 2 months. Need help. Staying in bed all day is driving me crazy.

I'm having a lot of trouble tapering off effexor.
I've talked to my psychiatrist and he doesnt think
effexor
, OR coming off of it slowly could cause these symptoms. So basically I'm really scared because I'm getting a LOT worse fast and I have no way to no why or how to stop it.

I was on Effexor for 8 years now doc took me off them and on to Wellbutrin
The first two weeks were like weeks from hell. It was the most terrible thing I have ever went through.
