Anyone have issues with weaning from one med to another? I am supposed to start weaning from Effexor XR 150 mg to Prozac 20 mg. My dr wants me to take 75mg of Effexor and 10 mg of Prozac together for...

hi Kenny - reading your post felt like I could have wrote it. Only I don't just worry about cancer, I worry about all illness. I have had anxiety and panic since I was 11 yrs old. It didn't turn into...
I would actually talk to your doctor about switching you to another med. Not because its making you tired but because Effexor is a pretty rough med. I have been on 150 mg for about 5 years. Once I...

I also had my Effexor increased from 150 to 225 and im wondering if this could be a side effect from that too?...
I know. I don't think the panic will kill me. but I think I have an aneurysm and its going to burst and I am going to die. that one second I will be here and the next second I will be gone. I don't...
I am now in a full blown anxiety attack. this pressure in my head is at its worst right now. the whole top of it, the sides, my forehead, my neck into my shoulders feel tight - my ears feel clogged....
My head just feels sooo weird. I feel like I have someone sitting on top of it. or someone is just squeezing both sides. or I have a hat on my head - but I don't. I keep trying to remind myself that...
So I wrote a HUGE intro on the other thread and then when I clicked submit I got that my connection had been lost. Very frustrating. especially since I wrote about ALOT. It was therapeutic but...

Thank you SC. I wish I would just feel better. Then I feel like my anxiety would be better. I've had sinus problems forever and had sinus surgery 2 years ago. And I know I'm sick. Right after...
