Doc agreed to let me try either Effexor or low dose Geodon for depression.
I was pretty chicken, but finally took 75mg of Effexor XR yesterday. After about 3-4 hours I started feeling sick - nauseous, smell and thought of food made me sick, then closer to bed time I had terrible anxiety (or akathesia maybe?) and took 3mg of Klonopin. What a terrible day! From just one dose?!
Today I still feel weird, but more calm and laid back.
I don't know if I could stick it out on Effexor. Is this typical?
I don't tolerate SSRIs, and lexapro caused excess urination and pain.
On the other hand, Geodon does give me some heart palps, but does work at 40mg.
