Hi all... not sure if you all know about me so heres a short story..
took 37.5 mg of effexor 3 half years ago for the mildest of mild depression, 1 night was out with mates at a night club they were al ldoing e's so i thought i would take more effexor cus it gave me a buzz so i took about 4-5 tablets and smoked aloud of weed too and i had my first panick attack and felt very funny(anxiety).. obviousley i stopped taking any more effexor.. and basiclly suffered since...
tryed ssri's all raised my bp and hrt rate
reboxatine simualr to effexor caused my hrt rate to be fast and my i felt to manic over anxious i would say..
trazadone made me feel as if my hrt was gonna stop
dothiapen made my heart flutter and slow and i didnt like the feeling..
mirtazipan (remeron) was on for over a year till they changed from tablets to soltab i just cant get on with them, gave me nightmares etc..
went to see physc few weeks ago she offered effexor and then changed her mind ... she said to me that she can get hold of 5 mnths supply of the old type of remeron so i said ok ( well i didnt have a choice) then that was it bye bye till next year i suppose..
so anyways i cant do this alone been 3 weeks without being on any meds.. i am full of anxiety, panicking over my health, (nothing wrong) and now depressed and i am getting nasty discusting sick perverted dreams that are with me all the day grrrrrrrrrrrrr...anyways i was thinking about going back onto effexor at a low dose.... i would have to go to the doctors first ... what you guys reckon? is effexor any good for anxiety ? or is it just for depression?
i w as thinking also about taking inderal along with the effexor if i get abit to anxious...
any thoughts much appreciated..
thanks
