Re: possible help for effexor withdrawal

I weaned off Effexor the end of last month and tried to go back on Celexa. I went to the Emergency Room and thought I was going crazy. They only gave me a shot for the nausea and sent me home. (Obviously makes you feel more helpless) Anyway, I then went back on it because I couldn\'t take it. Even on it again, I still felt lousy so I decided to wean off it again. I have taken nothing (except an occasional Clonazepam) for only about 3 or 4 days, and what a nightmare! The psych. told me to start on Paxil CR at 12.5 mg if I wanted to, but I am sooo leary about it because I tried regular Paxil once before and it didn\'t work for me. Also, I am afraid to take ANY of these meds. at this point because I have literally had moments I felt like killing myself to escape this nightmare. After reading your post, I want to try the prozac, but am wondering how you are now and if you are still taking it and if it continues to work for you. Sorry to ramble here, but I don\'t really know anyone who seems to get what I am going through right now! Please respond asap. Thank you. (Like you, I don\'t want to turn my head because it screws me up!!!!)
