If anyone anywhere has any information on what to do, I'm desperate. I was on a small dosage of effexor until early November of this year (was on it for 13 months-tapered off). I felt fine for the first month, but then I started to develop anxiety, a rebound effect so to speak over the past two months. I've only been this anxious like once before when i was 17 (am 25 now). This terror has been going on non-stop for about 2 weeks now. I have terrible anxiety attacks, sleeping poorly... I'm tweaking out about every little stressful situation that comes my way and am having a horrible time functioning. I feel somewhat ok in the evenings but it starts right up again wheni wake up. If ANYONE out there has had similar rebound experiences, please talk to me and reassure me that I can get through this without trapping myself and going back on the meds. I'm desperate.
