In reply to EFFEXOR CAUSING ANXIETY IN FIRST WEEKS????HELP!!!, posted by LittleLeo on October 14, 2003, at 1:17:11
It did this for me too when I first took effexor. But, I must say that I hadn't felt so alive and bubbly in a while. I had so much damn energy I was calling up heaps of people and organsing parties and things, but it was a little too much energy because I didn't sleep for like 3 days! But that was then, and the doctor I was seeing at the time stopped me taking the med, only after a few days. And now, I'm back taking it again and it's weird because now it seems to be working more on reducing anxiety for me..and also energy..soo I dunno! but at least it's better than mirtazapine...mirtazapine is a whole different animal all together, even though both effexor and mirtazpaine are in the same class they work completely different. I wouldn't even bother with remeron now it was too much like comin down off smoking a bowl and getting major munchies.
So anyway I think you should give it a bit more time and see how you feel..or just complain to your doc and make a scene infront of him so he gives you valium :)
