Did you go "cold turky" off of the Xanax? I was on Prozac and Xanax for years, the doc then took me off of them and put me on Effexor. I learned the hard way about withdrawals from Xanax ... wasn't fun.
The things you have talked about during the first seven days on Effexor are simular to what I experienced. I have been on it for six months and have not tolerated it well. I am into week two of wiening off the Effexor and it is not fun. Next week is the last week I will be on it. The doc wants me to go onto Remeron and I am really hesitant. After Xanax and now Effexor withdrawals I am not sure I want to take anything else.
I have asked the "post" if anyone has had any experience with Remeron but did not hear anything.
Hope things go well for you.
