i take effexor and my doctor said that if you stop taking it randomly without lowering the dosage first that it can make all side effects 1000 times worse and can make depression and anxiety come back even worse than when you started. i advise you see a doctor asap.
do i need to go to the hospital for major depression lasting longer than 2 months? (see details). i've had major depression episodes before but never like this. i was on effexor and tapered (2-3 week period) to prozac and then added remeron (1 week period). i stopped taking all after my symptoms worsened after about 4 days. all of that was 2 weeks ago. i'm consistently withdrawing but i'm not (i'm pretty sure). i'm feeling crazy or like i'm dying. i have so many symptoms it doesn't make sense. depressed anxiety memory loss add/adhd nausea no sleep drained constipation sweating lost.
