I have been on effexor for about four and a half years now, but lately I have been having alot of episodes so my doctor switched me to prozac. OH MY GOD!!!!! I thought I was dying. Are these withdrawl symptoms or from prozac? I freeze all night but I have to change two or three times because I sweat through my clothes to my sheets. I was throwing up foam because I couldn't eat, shaking uncontrolably, it felt like I had a fiftey pound weight sitting on each temple, my dreams are extremely gorry, I can hardly see straight, sometimes it feels like someone is jolting my brain, I just wanted to crawl out of my skin, I couldn't stop crying. I put this in somewhat past tense because I got right back off the prozac and started taking my effexor again. I am starting to feel a little normal, but not completely. My doctor prescibed me some adavan to help calm me down and that really helped, it helped me get a little better rest in. I also take depakote, but my doctor didn't take me off that, he uped my dose. But now I am on what I started at but more depressed because of all the pain I endured from all this. I do not want to be on meds the rest of my life so how does someone avoid all of this havoc caused from effexor? Someone PLEASE HELP!! This is probably the closest I have come to wanting to seriously die since I have had children, I don't ever want to feel that way again!
