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.

Yes! I couldn’t take the side effects of lexapro. Terrible anxiety! So I weened off that the. Got in seroquel. A mood stabilizer. Then added Zoloft (a mood lifter). Now almost feeling like myself. Almost. Having vertigo and not sure if it’s a sinus thing or SSRI thing. And still not gaining any weight back.
