Been on Effexor for 2 weeks that my psych prescribed. I have been having a horrible time. Increased anxiety, increased depression, feeling out of it, feeling restless, jittery, and more panic attacks.

I would rather try something like Zoloft. But im scared my psychiatrist is going to drop me because he thinks im trying to go against him. Im not. I just would rather try something else that doesn't make me feel like absolute hell. I know these side effects are temporary but its been brutal. And hearing about how Effexor is the worst antidepressant to come off of, I'd rather just stop now and try something else.

Ive told him about these side effects and he thinks its just my anxiety and wants to increase my dose of Effexor. But im just not comfortable taking it.

Thoughts?

I just cant take these side effects any longer. Restless, increased anxiety/panic/depression, wired uncomfortable feeling, sexual side effects.

If its only been 2 weeks can I just stop taking it? My doctor said I can but I see things on here about counting beads and what not and i'm feeling concerned.

Dead hard and Decisive Strike aren't doing shit. Everything's my fault though for playing a survivor sided event.

Was taking 15mg Buspirone twice daily and Trintellix 20mg for months. Trintellix wasn't helping my anxiety, only depression. Doctor switched me to Effexor and kept the buspar. So I started 37.5mg Venlafaxine XR along with my Buspar.

Tonight I had what I thought at first was an intense panic attack but then it turned into even scarier symptoms. I felt lightheaded, kinda of out of it/disoriented, fast heart rate, my body felt like it was burning, tingly in my head and limbs, and mild shivers.

Looking online just made it worse. All of my symptoms overlapped with Serotonin Syndrome and now i'm scared to take my medicines today.

Any advice is appreciated

Adaptive Battery is what it's called. See conflicting answers on here. Looking to see what's the reality. I've tried both and haven't noticed a difference.

Not overheating hot but warm to the touch. I'm not trying to stress my battery out but idk what else to do. I'm on light performance mode.

Been on Buspirone since last November. 7 months. Last night I was chilling playing a game with friends having a great time. I remembered I needed to take my 2nd 15mg dose of the day and took it and went back to talking with friends. Completely normal, not anxious, feeling fine.

​

Like 10 minutes later this intense wave of panic comes over me. I'm like wtf, that's weird. I started feeling extremely jittery, uncomfortable/scared, heart started racing, and it felt like my blood pressure went up. And then I went into an uncontrollable full panic attack mode. I tell my friends I have to abruptly go that I wasn't feeling well.

​

My heart was beating around 130 BPM. I usually can calm myself down without instantly reaching for a rescue Xanax but it felt like I was instantly strapped to a rocket of panic and just took off. So I took a xanax .25mg.

​

I'm feeling like absolute shit and just praying that nothings wrong and this feeling goes away soon. The xanax calmed me down mentally but my heart just kept racing. Not as crazy as it was before but at least 90 BPM. I'm normally at 60 BPM at rest. About an hour or so later I finally feel like im mostly back to normal. Still felt kinda jittery.

​

It makes me want to stop taking this. It hasn't really helped for panic attacks and has made my appetite crazy but I just figured I'd stick with it and maybe it'll provide benefits as time goes on. Normally it just makes me feel calmer and sleepy and hard to get things done during the day. But maybe this isn't the right med for me?

How common is this? Have you experienced anything like this? I know some of you are probably thinking "that's just anxiety, its not the Buspar." But I was completely fine feeling normal until I took my dose. I wasn't even thinking about it until those feelings hit me after taking it.

I keep getting ads for this thing called the "Verelief Prime" that claims it stops panic attacks in as little as 30 seconds. You put it on your vagus nerve below your ear and it basically shocks your system and relieves panic attacks, so it says.

I can't find direct answers online. Some say it calms them, some say it reduces stress, some say it does nothing. Have any of you tried anything like this that works?

I'm on Trintellix, Buspar, and Xanax as needed. After a debilitating panic attack last night where my heart was racing for over an hour and a half, I feel so tempted to purchase something like this. But I want more info.

Thoughts?

Wtf do i do here? If I take it during the day I get upset stomach so I take it at night. But then I've been sleeping way too much. I used to be able to sleep 6-8 hours and feel rested.

Had the Spigen Liquid Air and really liked the design. But didnt release how exposed the S Pen corner was. Dropped it once from like 3 feet and it chipped the S-Pen corner.

Most cases I see leave the bottom left S-Pen corner exposed. Any cases that cover it? Even otterbox defenders is open.
