I STARTED TAKING 75MG OF EFFEXOR 2 YEARS AGO AND I HAVE NOT HAD A PANIC ATTACK EXECEPT WHEN I DRINK COFFEE IN THE MORNING. I WENT OFF OF EFFEXOR IT TOOK ME 2 MONTHS OF SLOWLY REDUCING THE DOSAGE. THE EFFECTS FOR ME WERE TINGLING IN THE FACE AND LIPS AND HEADACHES AND RINGING IN THE EARS. WHICH WENT AWAY AFTER THE 2MONTHS. THE PANIC ATTACKS CAME BACK WORSE THAN WHEN I STARTED THE EFFEXOR.
HAS ANYONE GONE OFF OF IT AND FOUND AND HERBAL SUPPLEMENT TO TAKE IT'S PLACE. WISHFUL THINKING.
I ALSO GAINED 35LBS WHEN TAKING PAXIL SWITCHED OVER TO EFFEXOR AND CAN'T GET THE WEIGHT OFF.
ANY SUGGESTIONS. HAS ANYONE GOTTEN ALL OF THE WEIGHT OFF STILL ON THE MEDICINE. I'M 40 NOW AND I KNOW IT'S HARDER ANYWAY.
