In reply to Effexor ER and Zoloft combination, posted by butterfly58 on August 30, 2002, at 8:30:58
> Has anyone taken both Effexor ER and Zoloft together. Have you had success and what have you found in the way of side effects?
> My doctor prescribed both Effexor ER and Zoloft to be taken together. Zoloft by itself did not seem to help so he added Effexor ER 75mg. After over 2 weeks on effexor I don't feel any better but I have many side effects. I have Insomnia, difficulty waking up, extreme tiredness, "spacy" feeling shakiness, dry mouth, vision disturbances, absolutly no motivation, sometimes hyperness and other minor symptoms. Will these side effects go away? Actually I feel worse than before the meds. I feel no anxiety but I don't feel life is worth living.
>I have taken similar combinations.. I dont know what kind of mental problem you have though. If its basiclly panic attacks and the panic attacks and phobias are what is making you depressed then I would suggest you get a new doctor.
I personally go to Abbot Lee Granoff I can see him over the phone from out of state and hes the best doctor I have ever been to. I was about hopless until I ran across doctors like him.
