In reply to Effexor to Prozac advicer pls!!, posted by skp on October 22, 2003, at 5:09:40
> Hi all
> I have been taking Effexor 75xr for 6weeeks now and have found that the main side effect for me is sedation...and tooo much of it. So i have now moved to Prozac. Have been on Prozac for 2 days now. I have chosen Prozac because I think I'm least likely to gain weight on it....I have been on Paroxetine in the past and it caused massive weight gain. I am feeeling a bit like I have the flu at the moment and also wonder if this is due to changing from Effex to Proz, I know Prozac can b used to come off Effexor!...anyone got any advice about Przac and this change?Hello...the Prozac helps with the problems "in your head" so to speak...the brain zaps, mood swings etc... Try some Benadryl for the full body symptoms. I took it and it made me feel really *stoned* but better. After that for a day or two I was just fine.
Good Luck,
Karen
