I had terrible palpitations all night and starting again this morning. I wound up taking 1/4 Ativan three times during the night as each piece barely lasts an hour. I thought I was having a heart attack and I was going to go to the ER but they won’t help and as soon as they look up my previous visits (I have gone at least 4 times before out of desperation) they just tell me to leave as they don’t treat mental health disorders. Even though I only took the Effexor for 6 days, everything I have read on the forums says you still have to taper off. I have a telephone appointment at 12 noon today with the nurse practitioner to find out how to do this. I was taking the lowest dose which is 37.5. I guess I’ll have to cut the tablets in half. I also have some of the extended release capsules but I don’t think I can count the little beads as my hands are too shaky.
