Some supplements like 5htp can raise serotonin levels too much if you still have effexor on your system so please ensure there are no contraindications that would cause adverse reactions. So sorry such a young soul is going through this but kudos for being proactive with her health!

I am 4 weeks out Effexor free and my anxiety is crazy bad! I can’t relax, or function! I tried 5htp and it made me sick. I want my life back. My husband doesn’t understand and doesn’t want to understand. I’m expected to just “snap” out of it. So I keep all my feelings inside and know that isn’t good for me. I went to my Dr and was asked what I wanted to do about it. I want to be back to normal and enjoy life.
