WEIRD EFFEXOR EXPERIENCE...PLEASE HELP!

Posted by AmyJ on July 20, 2000, at 8:40:02

I'm 29 years old and I've pretty much felt depressed for as long as I can remember. It's only been in the last 4 years that I have been seeking help. I tried:
Paxil- made my stomach so upset that I couldn't function, Celexa- made me gag and vomit, Serzone-was ok....but didn't do much and kind of fizzled out.
So yesterday my Dr. put me on Effexor. It felt normal at first. I felt a little sick to my stomach and a little tired...but within about 2 hours after taking only one 37.5 XR pill I was in this totally euphoric state. I don't mean just a little happy....I mean like goosebumps from feeling so good, a grin from ear to ear, touching things for the sake of being able to feel things. It was very scary. I felt like I could do anything. My pupils were dialated, my jaw was tight and I only slept for about 3 hours all night. Today I feel horrible and I'm not sure I want to continue with this drug. I know it's supposed to make me feel better, and if that's how it was supposed to work then SIGN ME UP!!! But for some reason I fell like something was wrong...especially because I only had ONE PILL! Has anyone ever had an experience like this or does anyone have an idea as to why I may have reacted the way I did? Any input is appreciated.
Amy
