I've been there ..Its a vicious cycle , trying to kick these meds No one warned about the terrible side effects of stopping or cutting down . Why ??? Why is that legal to put people thru this ? Greedy Big pharma gets away with pushing these meds on TV but takes NO responsibility for the bad after effects. Doctors too They pledge 'First do no harm' what a joke Most just say Keep taking these meds for life !! Hell NO
Meant to add Xanax is Hell to get off of I've tried for 3 day ( ran out ) and would up in the ER with horrid headache, 300 BP...unbearable anxiety There has to be a better way...
Gawd...that must be like trying to lose weight and quit smoking! I take Xanax. It helps because of anxiety and panic attacks. I was only sleeping 2 hrs @ a time at nite too. Since tapering the Effexor...I sleep thru the nite. But the Xanax helps if I wake up in a panic.
