Hello and thank you for reading my post.
For one reason or another my Doc decided i was depressed and said i should try some medication. My Doc's always been good with me so i agreed.
I am on a 75 dose daily. I have been on Efexor now for about a week. I have never had any other anti-depressants before.
I can tell they are working.. but i am having some very weird side effects.
Last night i had a terribel panic attack... for some reason i started feeling really nervous .. and it became extreme. No reason at all for this to come on. I managed to calm myself down after a while and later was told (in an on line chat) that this can happen if the dosage is too high ? can some one advise ?
Also - my mind has be racing - think about a lot of "what ifs" Ie .. What if i buy a coke no a pepsi - no a coke ect. Just really strange stuff.,
Also my pupils are dilated and i look like am trippin on speed.
Every few hours i feel like i am about to throw up .. but i never do - i was told to expect this though so i am not too concerned, just hopeing it will pass.
I am having a lot of trouble sleeping, is this common ?
I am not dreaming at all.
- I think the efexor is good though - i have a lot more energy and can keep myself in control without flipping out - i just do not want to have to start taken another med in conjuction with Efexor to level out its side effects
