Hi all,
I was on Effexor for the last year and few months for depression and anxiety. I felt it contributed to a ton of weight gain and feeling very sluggish. My doctor agreed to taper be down and switch to a diff med.it took from March up until last week. When I got to the lowest dose I realized how manic and overly emotional I felt, then we added in 10 mg of prozac after my last Effexor pill and I continue to feel sad helpless , And depressed from this withdrawal . All my feelings are at 100 and my obsessive thoughts are baxk. My doctor said it would take 5 weeks to get prozac in , I couldn’t wait and I’m back on Effexor 2 days waiting for it to kick in It’s been a rough time I’m wondering if I’ll ever be able to change a medication
