Seroquel withdrawal or rebound anxiety?

Hey there,
Although I have never been on Seroquel, I am currently withdrawing from Effexor. I have all the same symptoms you described. The sheer panic attacks out of nowhere, very fast and sudden heartbeat, diarrhea (tmi), and horrible fatigue. My psychiatrist told me that I am returning to my original condition as well, but my anxiety was never this bad before! I have read similar stories to ours, and I genuinely believe that these are all withdrawal symptoms. The “returning anxiety” excuse is not good enough for me because how are we all having the same exact symptoms? I have never had such intense panic attacks and my emotions are all over the place as well.

Hi graciepeanut, I’m so sorry to hear you are going through this too. I’ve heard that Effexor can be very difficult to taper down on. I am thinking of you and wishing you the best during this time. These psych meds are intense, and unfortunately doctors don’t fully disclose the side effects and challenges of coming off the meds. However I firmly believe that all of us can and will find the right mix of meds that will lead to a positive and happy life ❤️ please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need someone to lean on right now!
