Having some problems....need some insight. I have been on Prozac off and on for about 8 years and the medicine hasn't been working all that great. About 6 weeks ago my doctor put me on 150 mg of Effexer and at first I got the sweats and my appetite decreased. I needed less sleep. These symptoms went away after a week or so. I started getting irritable after a few weeks (not really sure when that started)and alienated some people around me without realizing it. I finished up the 6 week trial (probably shouldn't have in retrospect) and stopped taking it three days ago. Since then I have been having the sweats again but even worse is the indescribable feeling of being floaty....dizzy....wanting to cry all the time....extreme anger....weird freaky dreams....definite shift of charactor....I am kinda scared. Any thoughts or words of encouragement? How long will this last. I can't stand it.
