I have not taken Effexor since March. I was on Prozac for 2 months and the anxiety and dry mouth were unbearable, so I tapered off of that, then was put on Zoloft, same thing after a week, horrible side effects, tapered off of that, then a month later on nothing I was put on WellbutrinXL. One week and I was crazy anxious and irritable. I stopped this 3 days ago. Today I am so irritable and depressed it’s horrible. I just hope I can get back in with my Psychiatrist soon.
