Hello there,

ive been taking efferxor XR for about 3 years now for my anxiety/panic attacks.

I thought i loved the drug fore it kept all attacks at bay, yet i knew there were going to be consequences for going off of it, because even if im a few hrs late for my pill i feel sick.

I now know what a crack head feels like and its not pretty. i am 21 and i wanted to get off of effexor b/c its not fair that i cant funtion without it. its such a major crutch for me, i have a love/hate relationship with the drug.

Well its day 2, ive weaned myself off of it, i was cutting my 35.5 doses in half, so i thought i would be pretty safe from withdrawal, but nope. i feel malaise, dizzy, nausious, and i keep feeling like theres electrical surges in my brain.

i feel agitated, and have come close to freaking out on the people that care about me. (FAR FROM MY PERSONALITY) and i think ive been hallucinating a bit, i keep seeing bugs....

im discouraged to know that these effects can last a long time.....

this idea of taking prozac to help the withdrawal seems fine and dandy, but i couldent afford my original prescription. i just wish this would be over faster.....
