In reply to Re: Effexor Discontinuation--rebound anxiety panic, posted by sassyjenw on June 15, 2004, at 18:21:25
Yes I have heard of BCALM, havent tried it yet
but heard and read good things about it.Interesting....I too have not experience any Anxiety attacks since discontinuing my Effexor.
I am still struggling with depression...but not Panic attacks.You seem to say in your post that after the depression, your anxiety, flu like sypmtoms, etc..
retured...so I am wondering if I have that to look forward to.. lol!~I have had the urge to retake the Effexor again
just to relieve the depression...but Its just not worth it to me, Ive gone this long...so IF I go "back on" anything..it would be Zoloft...
but as I said I want to stay drug free.
( except for Xanax...which probabley explains no Panic attacks fo me.)Im taking my family on Vacation to the Beach in about 2 months...so I am already wondering what (if anything) I should plan to do...drug wise.
The last time ( about 5 years ago) I left Ohio without being on any anti-depressants, I suffered
anxiety, panic..and terrible agoraphobia.Then when my MD talked me into trying Zoloft...
I was able to enjoy Vacation and life in general
without any symptoms of any kind!Well anyways...you hang in ther..keep me posted
and I hope you feel better.
If I have any success with Multivitamin therapy, I will let you know,
My mainstay of fighting this withdrawl so far has
been hard exercise daily and trying to stay busy.Talk to you later
