In reply to affraid to take effexor/ bad experience w/ paxil, posted by stef on April 6, 2000, at 21:49:20
> i was put on paxil for depression and anxiety . i lasted one day it messed with my brain. i am now on klonipin for panic attacks but im dealing with post partum depression and they want me to take effexor and im scared i will react to it the same way as paxil. i dont know what to do.
>I had this very same thing happen to me on Effexor! When I went to bed at night, I had this thought that I would hope my husband would hear me and wake up and stop me before I harmed my children. This was way, way out of character for me! This was only after 3 days of being on it. Needless to say I threw it in the garbage and burned it!! It was horrible and very scary! I have no idea why this happened, but next time I see my pdoc I am going to question him more on this. So don't feel alone. I am not crazy or abusive by nature so I chalk it up to the drug.
