Im taking lorazepam and my doctor wants me to switch to effexor. Im scared to have the symptoms: i don't want to experience just from a pill. : dizziness, vomiting, tremors? :O , seisures :O , electric shock like symptoms. I don't know if i could handle not knowing or knowing im going to have this happen to me too :( Also... one of the side effects of effexor is irritable or irregular heart beat. THATS THE REASON i went on effexor... i have anxiety / panic disorder. I don't want irregular or jumpy/skippy heart beats. but it's a side effect of a med my doctor wants me to go on (effexor). I don't understand that. im only 22. my other question. can i take effexor and if i have an irregular heart beat take a lorazepam to settle that?
i took effexor many years ago, for about 3 days, i did not like the results.... it gave me more anxiety,,
at this point, i am taking prozac, and klonopin to sleep, i think my body has become immune to both of these, as i have been taking them a long time..
i would also like to change meds,,at this point, i have a heard time leaving the house, the anxiety is so bad.
i wish i could answer your question!!!! i have tried so many different meds over the years, i just hate the side effects. sometimes they are worse than the illness itself!!
hello, i used to be on effexor that i was ordering from either http://www.bbonlinepharmacy.com or http://www.drugdelivery.ca to calm down my anxiety that has developped after years of not sleeping well and working as a site engineer. And even though i have change my job to a much lighter consultancy group, this stressfull nature has come to form part of me. Its just recently that i came to really free myself from effexor and my anxiety by the use of concentration. I recommend you to read this article from http://www.counselling.cam.ac.uk/concen.html which i am really sure will be a basic help towards your natural healing capacity.
Effexor frightens me. My doctor had already tried at least five SSRI's that I couldn't take due to side effects. The last one we tried was Effexor. This was the only one I tried that gave me the "electric shock" feeling you mentioned....frightening. On this drug I was driving down the street and at one point realized I had no idea where I was. It also affected my vision.
this stressfull nature has come to form part of me. I am surprised to see this description of me here; it is very perceptive that a first physical reaction to a stressfull work environment becomes, in time, a learned repeated effect to a wider and wider range of situations. Or am I reading too much into this.
