I'm new here...
As for medications, I am on
Effexor
and Ativan. Recently, I found a therapist who specializes in trauma and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and been seeing her for about a couple months now. In general, I have been in therapy consistently for about two and a half years now.

I'm in a really bad place
I did just stop taking
effexor
completely but I was on a really low dose and I'm taking Prozac 40 mg now so if it's withdrawal I don't understand why it's so terrible. I mean I can't imagine myself doing anything ever again.

Effexor and Mitazapine
On 75 mg
Effexor
for 3 weeks. Mirtazapine 30mg. For a year. Anyone on both of these? The
Effexor
is causing anxiety (yuck) and insomnia, even with the Mirtazapine. How long do I have to wait for relief? Is this combo worth it? Thanks!

Insomnia
I am on
Effexor
(almost 6 weeks now) and struggling with insomnia. Can anyone relate? Did it go away? What did you do to help? My doctor gave me sleeping aids and they aren’t helping.

It's Impossible.
I came off
effexor
and abilify and started prozac. I am also taking a little less xanax. Can that really cause all of these feelings?

Wits End
Earlier this year I started venlafaxine/
Effexor
. Symptoms were awful - excessive sweating, yawning, irritability. Changed to Sertraline/Zoloft around May. Again, symptoms are awful. Sweating to the point I have scabs on my scalp. Diarrhea on a daily basis.

Intense dread today
I don't know if it's the
effexor
withdrawal or starting abilify. Everything looks and sounds strange. Numbers dont make sense to me whenI look at them? Idk I'm really scared.

Still trying to come off effexor.. Feeling faint every day
Im weaning off
effexor
suuuper slowly and started abilify a few weeks ago. I'm so scared something bad is gonna happen but I'm hopeful too because I've never tried an antipsychotic until now.

So I'm not doing super well.
I'm prescribed a lot of xanax right now and abilify and
effexor
. My doctor wants me off all of it because I'm doing so badly. I don't want a new medication regimen, they never work for me. I hope you all are doing well.

Effexor
I just had my
Effexor
increased a month ago to 225mg. It was not helping, I have been so up and down, mostly staying anxious and depressed. I get so nervous that I feel like I'm having panic attacks and shaking. Also
effexor
is causing me to sweat like crazy.

Anyone familiar with the decrease of venlafaxins / Effexor . I was on 150mg now 75mg.. symptoms from reduction?
Hi, has anyone personally experienced or know someone who has reduced their dosage of venlafaxine /
Effexor
( SNRIs- serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors ). I am experiencing a tremendous amount of brain fog and I am not sure why. I reduced my dosage about 45 days ago.

Effexor
, so I am experiencing withdrawal on top of my anxiety.... !

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!
