In reply to Re: Effexor Withdrawal Highly Overrated, posted by ladylight57 on May 11, 2003, at 20:08:23
i missed a pill once and was all dizzy, tingly, and light headed also for the whole weekend. I got my blood pressure checked - it was ok. I just let it pass but the next time i felt the symptoms i went to my general doctor and he said i was having a panic attack. He prescribed clonopin which is like xanex w/o the "high" feeling - worked great! The effexor did kill my sex drive so i switch to welbutrin. During the switching time i tried to quit my job (thank god i work for my parents), thought it was a good idea to walk about 10 miles b/c i didnt want to touch my moms car, had my fiance break up w/ me (temporarily), and did a private half-assed suicide attempt. The withdrawl/switch was rough to say the least but i am almost happy w/ welbutrin!
