RE I used Prozac before Effexor . I Did not have any bad reactions stopping. Why my MD took me off Prozac & put me on Effexor, which is, for many, 'addictive' I do NOT know . Maybe docs need to try these ( toxic meds ) before handing them out with no warnings !!

My doctor also took me off of Prozac for Effexor approximately 10 years ago. It was the new depression drug on the block. I had depression and anxiety as well as a sleep disorder since I was a teenager. The doctor said he took me off of Prozac, because the Prozac was only addressing my depression and anger, but Effexor would address all.

For me That was NOT the case Effexor and Xanax proved to be toxic for me
