hi there. i\'ve been on effexor for almost two years.slowly got off of it decreasing the dose. went through all the withdrawal symptoms like everyone else did.that was about three months ago, the problem is that now i feel terrible physically.i feel like i have flu like symptoms, chest pains, earaches, headaches, lump in my throat and aching all over. i don\'t know if those are withdrawal symptoms back again, or panic attacks with different symptoms are back. i had many different test done to rule out other possible causes. all test are coming back negative. i don\'t know anymore what to do. i do not want to go back on effexor or any of this type of medication. it causes way too many problems. so if you have any knoledge of natural medications that would truly work please let me know. i did try some medication from health store, didn\'t do anything for me. i suffer from panic disorder.please email me back.
