Hi, Iv'e been on every SSRI's icluding effexor(37.5mg)
and all of them give me EXTREME insomnia. as well as neck/jaw rigidity ans teeth clenching.....UGH, so know I am on Serzone now up to 300mgs. and he upped my zanax from .05 3 times a day to 1 mg 3 times a day. Unfortunatly I am still overbreathing all day even after he upped my zanaz. he told me he can only go up once more to another half and if that doesnt do it he will switch. any ideas? Right no now I constantly over breath and and VERY depressed. Ive been in bed all weekend. #1 does the sssri really help with extreme anxiety? #2 Is there meds to take with one of the ssri to stop the neck thing and insomnia? BTW- I felt great emotionally on the effexor!!but the breathing continued! #3 do you think Klonop0in would work better? the psych. sugggested possibly trying this new med cexelor(sp) have you head of this? Im seeng him in 4 days and i would love your input!!! I mentioned buspar and he shook his head as well as a beta blocker and he said it would most likely push me into a deeper depression! any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!
