1798419 tn?1315810427 My brother has been on Effexor for several years and it has made him gain some weight and is hard for him to lose weight.
Avatar m tn t feel angry or anything but I felt like I was in HELL again, someone did state in a post I put up before that it was a really stimulating drug (was it ever) and just to watch myself with it, when I noticed that rage I went RIGHT to the doctors and was immediately taken off wellburtrin, and that was only after 10 days I started with the 150mg of wellbutrin and then after a week was up to 300mg.... but that was my experience with it.
Avatar n tn I knew about the other withdrawal symptoms of effexor XR (irritability, rage, tiredness, ect.) but one thing I have noticed in the last couple days is that I feel really weak. It is all I can do to lift my kids (20 and 35 pounds respectively). I can't tell if I am getting sick or if this is something related to withdrawal. Can you tell me if this is a known symptom?
Avatar f tn in the last few months I went from 150 mg Effexor to 75 mg.....tired and cranky all the time, thought it was the effexor....On July 12 doctor switched me from effexor 75 mg. to 20mg prozac...prozac made me rage...after 11 days of taking prozac, I quit taking everything (July 23rd). Now I am irritable, short tempered and very impatient with people....are these withdrawals or signs of needing to to back on another anti depressant.

Avatar f tn was tolerable - eye twitches and a little dizziness, but again, tolerable. 2/14/09 (Happy V-Day) was my first day without any Effexor and it was, simply put - scary. I felt as though I had an electrical current running through my body - mostly in my head and also in my hands. Very dizzy. Cried over everything and I am not one to cry. Then the intense rage came that evening. I have headaches, chills, freezing then hot. My vision is...odd.
Avatar f tn Few of the things i went through brain zaps also in hands and feet absolutly relenless dizziness nausea feeling tearful pain in every part of my body from my head and teeth to the tips of my toes. Feeling of total rage which is something i have never experianced in my life. Feeling of what is the point of carring on. Day 7 Anxiety backwith avengance total obsession that there is something seriously wrong with me to feel all this mental and physical pain.
329994 tn?1301663248 I went to a new primary today and she told me that she wanted me to consider taking Effexor - she said I should research it and let her know. I wanted to see if anyone on here knew about it. Also, she thought that going to a Rhuematologist probably wouldn't help me with my CFS and I wanted to know your thoughts on that! Thank you!
Avatar n tn Yes you can and that is is more proof that you have tried and tried and it just does not work out. Find a lawyer under dissability law in the yellow pages. You will pay your lawyer out of the initial payment that you get. He/she will get a percentage of your payment. We are not talking big money but you can get section 8 housing where you pay rent according to the SSI you bring in. You should be able to get Medicare and Medicaid.
Avatar n tn I think your husband needs to be in the hospital where he can be supervised in light of his threats of harming you and his out of control rage and anger. Please do NOT try and get him to the ER by yourself. Right now you need to stay away from him and let professionals deal with him. Get out, get safe and get help! NOW. PLEASE let us know how you are!
Avatar f tn Ahh yes, the wonderful world of Effexor discontinuation syndrome. Feels like **** doesn't it? I had the exact identical symptoms when I tapered off my 375Mg a day Effexor dosage. Pristiq is very hard to stop also. (Pristiq is almost exactly like Effexor) I have good news and bad news. The good news first... Don't panic because it will fade in about 5 to 6 weeks off the medication. Bad news.... It ***** hard core and you will feel like road kill for the next 5 weeks.
Avatar f tn Sorry to hear about all of your troubles. I was on Effexor 150mg last year and I actually stopped taking it and ended up in the hospital -- not for suicidal thoughts or any emotional issues -- stopping the medication put my body into shock. Take everyone's advice above -- come off that medication very slowly -- I noticed you mentioned that you were unemployed -- If you cannot afford the medication -- call your doctor and ask for a month of sample -- then slowly taper off.
535152 tn?1215015169 About a year and a half ago he was diagnosed w/ depression and has been on effexor and then zoloft and for little bits of time ativan and seroquel. When he is 'depressed' he is in bed quite a bit and cannot seem to do anything- no work not even being with his family. But when he's feeling good he's a whole nother person if that makes sense. He doesn't have huge mood swings but i still wonder if he is bi-polar? He does have much of a temper usually at all.
190673 tn?1259203266 I have been taking Effexor XR 450mg and Buproprion 450mg for a couple of years. I'm weaning off the Effexor, going onto Pristiq and continuing the Buproprion.
Avatar m tn would not take lexapro and effexor together. for effexor withdrawal i take omega3 fish oil caps twice a day//benadryl as needed for dizzyness\\ b12 sublingualtwice a day\\st. johns wort twice a day// vitamin d3 twice a day ---ibuprofen(motrin) as needed for muscle pain. as far as i am concerned, i will never take a prescription rx. for anxiety and depression again. i also have ptsd. i am sticking to st. johns wort and omega 3 fish oil caps. both will treat depression.
Avatar n tn I switched from effexor to wellbutrin. I had to be on both medications at the same time for a long time because of the effexor withdrawal... it was so hard to come off the effexor, I was at the lowest dose for a very long time, 25mg, because I couldn't get off of it the withdrawal symptoms were too bad for me.
Avatar f tn I take Effexor for depression and forgot to bring it with me on a 3 day getaway with my 2 young boys. My girlfriend who was also there offered me a Xanax for the 8 hr. drive home just in case I lose it (my mind that is). I only took half and it seemed to work great. The drive was a breeze. Today however, I took my usual dosage of Effexor and now I'm feeling extremely detached. Like I just don't care about anything that is happening - good or bad.
Avatar n tn My doctor has suggested that I come off effexor (which i have been on for over 2 years) and start taking Wellbutrin XL. I was to take both of them for 1 week and then stop the effexor and take Wellbutrin only. I have not been feeling very good very tense, anxious, lightheaded and chest pains. I spoke to a pharmasist who suggested stopping the effexor straight away and continuing with the Wellbutrin.
Avatar m tn I have been weaning of 37.5 mg of Effexor for a week and a half taking it every other day. When can I start taking 25-50mg of 5Htp. Will this be safe to do? The Effexor is driving me crazy (sweating, fatigue, nausea..etc)..
Avatar f tn Do you think the PN was always this bad and reducing the Effexor is allowing the pain and numbness to come through, or do you think the additional issues are side-effects of reducing the Effexor?
