"originally on seroxat (paxil) for 17 years. felt so good on 20mg that after having my child i thought i would come off it as thinking of having second baby. i was put on prozac to help with withdrawal.  after 4 months on prozac i was an absolute mess so dr put me on effexor. i&#039;ve been on this now for 6 months. i cry literally every day. it has created obsessional and horrible thoughts, i am constantly tired.  i have anxiety and panic. i feel it has actually created new symptoms that i never had. i do not like this drug and am coming off it as soon as i get an appointment with the psychiatrist"
