In reply to Nitrious Oxide N2O (laughing gas), posted by Jed_9 on December 21, 2003, at 18:21:19
I'm more concerned about the legal use of N2O in the dentist's office interacting with the AD that I might be taking then. I used to have severe panic attacks at the dentists office after a terrible experience getting all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time. In the past, I required both laughing gas and an anti-anxiety pill. I had calmed down enough to only need the N2O except for the last time. While taking Effexor, I had a cavity. The N2O only seemed to aggravate my anxiety, and I couldn't stop shaking.
Was it an interaction with Effexor?
