Link, was the heart thing anxiety related?
I can usually handle side effects pretty well - GI problems don't bother me too much, ditto headaches, sexual stuff (couldn't care less!) fatigue, etc. But, along with emotional numbness, the one I simply can't tolerate is anxiety/insomnia. I do take clonazepam daily, but I'm trying to lower my dose, not up it.
I appreciate your reply :)
> Orbital, I never went above 75mg. Actually 37.5mg was not too bad. I felt pretty good on a cross taper between effexor and celexa. I wonder if a low dose of both would work for me.
