Hey Ava=Everytime I think I might have bpIImixed, someone comes a long and makes more sense (that would be you) lol.
I'm not sure if i could tolerate the RIs again. The only ones I probably could tolerate, possibly, are Prozac or Pristiq. I absolutely cannot stand the side effects though. But never continued a short trial of prozac. Effexor worked good with Wellbutrin, but WB didn't work last time-same effect as the SSRIs, strange enough.
I've read on various sites that once you are on Effexor, you pretty much are on it for life. Can't explain right now...but that could have a lot to do with it. I spent the most time on Effexor.
Thank you for the advice!
Phillipa-I am 100% sure it is nothing less than panic and anxiety. Re: a panic attack for 4 days is like this - panic for 1-2 hours, tapers down to severe anxiety for hours, tapers down to mild anxiety, almost stops; back up to anxiety or full-blown panic. Repeat for 4 days.
However, I welcome all views on the subject, and appreciate the comment.
