Through my psychiatrist I was on Celexa, then Effexor 75mg, then, finally 150mg for a year, to "give me a boost." A boost I did not experience; I didn't experience productive energy surge, but rather 6-hour intervals of extreme drowsiness and fatigue, followed by insominia at 3AM, just when I needed to sleep. My life was going to hell.
Tapering off Effexor over 6 weeks I experienced increased mood swings, irritability and impatience with the undane. This I clearly attribute to the withdrawl. I know now what is happening more than ever, and I'm trying to deal with that without the likes of Effexor, through meditation and other inlets.
I feel I need something other than meditating to give me a boost. Effexor withut the side effects. My new primary care physician, whom I have come to trust, prescirbed paroxetine 10 mg.
Any experience with this, anyone?
