Hi Dianna,
Have you tried Wellbutrin? I was on Effexor for 8 months with bad side effects. Now I'm on 300 mg of Wellbutrin, and take Klonapin occasionally for anxiety.So far, so good. I feel better than I have for a long time.
Hope you find the best solution for you!
- cindy> > After over three years on Effexor XR, I began having night sweats, terrible sweating during the day, tremors in one hand, sluggish all the time, weight gain, all the bad things I heard about at first began late. One doc took me off Effexor and started me on Zoloft (mot my psych), but then I started having headaches that were daily and painful. After a week of that, I quit taking it and now am on nothing. From past experience, I know I won't do well for long because of anxiety. Any suggestions as to another medication without all the side effects?
