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.

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
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.

Lost control
My doctor is in the process of weaning me off lexapro, however, (which I've been taking the same dosage for YEARS and has kept my anxiety at bay all this time) for
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!

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!!!

9 year break ??
Just started
Effexor
XR again but I’m still taking up to 3 Xanax a day to calm myself down and even had to lay down at work. I use ever tool i can think of to push the panic attacks away when I’m not in a “safe” place to release it but it’s not stopping.

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.
