Lots better than Paxil and helps LOOSE weight instead of gain! I couldn't drive over bridges without imagining how I was going to save everyone when we plunged into the water. And I would almost pass out if I had to actually meet someone new. Anxiety at it's best. I'm much more normal now. Well, As normal as I can be for being me :-D Effexor XR :-D LOL.

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!! They just prescribed this to me yesterday for the whole panic attack thing. Great, I think I'll go eat a cupcake and cry now. Good luck and I hope the weaning off isn't too horrid. :( 30 lbs?????? FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!! They just prescribed this to me yesterday for the whole panic attack thing.

Comment far less. Even less since for some reason your latest post are not showing up in my Google Read - I knew you had more to say then just that Tit Brigade thing...) Anyway... I'm medicated too. Effexor... It's great, no weight side effects and I'm so much happier.. not to mention the fact that you can still take it when you're preggers.. if you're ever thinking of going there again. The only thing.. I'm in Canada... if you don't have it there, maybe we can use Karen as a Mule and get the shit to you? LOL I lurk often. Comment far less.

I have been taking SeraFem (a form of Prozac)for about two years now and have my crazies in control. I haven't had any problems with weight gain but you can sure tell when I am off of it. The other thing that I have used in the past is St. Johns Wort. Awesome stuff. There are also valerium, Sam-e, among others. Anywho, Good luck, Queen!

I'm on another med now, and am one of those people that my be on it for life. Probably won't be you, but calling the doctor in the middle of anxiety hell to discuss what I should take NOW ... not pretty. My doc deserves a gold star. Look into cognitive behavior therapy. Seriously. There are tons of people that receive lifelong help with that, just after a few months of sessions. It's not a hooky-kooky thing. In fact, most psychiatrists are training themselves in CBT. I would be in that sort of therapy already, if I didn't live in the large metropolis (ha) of northern Oklahoma. Can't find a CB therapist anywhere in my hemisphere. And finally, (thank you all for listening, I'll be at the back of the room to sign your books when I'm done), wean slooooowwwwwwwllllly. If you start to have withdrawal symptoms, just slow it down. Some people suffer very little getting off. I had brain shocks and other weird stuff. I bought some meclizine at the pharmacy and started taking that everyday - it helped. Then again, you'll probably be on here in a month, talking about how you weaned off in a week without a hitch, and you are feeling the best in your life ... and I will hate you!

I had to go off Paxil and onto Celexa because of all the weight gain, so I understand what you're saying. And I'm with you on sick of hearing about antidepressants. I hate it when women take it because they feel blue every now and then. I've been on meds for about 6 years for severe depression (long before I became a mommy) and I still need them, but not because it's "cool". I need them in order to get out of bed and live. But I'm trying to wean off and it's a long road. Expect some weird side effects as you go off your meds, but they slowly get better. Good luck to you girl!
