In reply to WHAT DID EFFEXOR DO TO ME?, posted by crazychickuk on February 16, 2004, at 3:52:36
> When i started effexor for mildest of mild depression caused by baby blues, it was great for me, gave me loads of energy and made mevery happy, but then silly me abused it, i was only taking 35mg thats all i needed, but i went to a rave one night with my friends and they were all getting high on extacy and those days for me were over, so instead i took about 5 tmes my dose of effexor to get that buzz and i sure did, that night i got my very first anxiety attack and had to stop effexor cold turkey.. anyone know what it may have done to me? iam still not right so maybe i could take something that does the opposite to effexor? maybe it released to much seritonin? i dont know... anyone know?

> Your friend Donna5x 35mg won't hurt you but I can understand why it gave you extreme anxiety. When I increase my Efexor dose I have to use a little Valium until I get use to the dosage increase. If Efexor helped you before it should help you again especially since such a low dose helped you so much, you're already on Remeron so you won't have any side effects problems from Efexor.
