It helped me with pretty much everything... the severe anxiety, sweating, zaps, being aggravated, headaches, nausea and dizziness etc... I went off the Claratin D about 5 weeks after I quit taking effexor and all of the withdrawal symptoms came back... I felt like I was going to come out of my skin. I took another Claratin D and the sypmtoms went away again in about 6 hours. I was also on 150 Wellbutrin at the time. I quit taking the Claratin D about 2 1/2 months and I was finally ok. I'm not sure why this worked but it really helped me.
Take care, Jenna
