> Cam, my doctor took me down to 75mg of Effexor for 4 days then I am to go half of that for four days. She gave me a choice of Paxel or Prozac. I don't know anything about either one so I chose Prozac because I've heard the name more (logical reasoning huh!). So starting today I take 10mg of Prozac with the 75mg. of Effexor. After I stop taking Effexor in 8 days, she is going to raise the dose of Prozac. I'm worried about the withdrawl of Effexor. I'm already sweating and shaking. If this is all thats going to happen then I'll be o.k. Cam, what do you think of her plan? Any suggestions? Should I have gone with the Paxel? Do you have any information on the Prozac? Like I said earlier, I have no knowledge of any of this. I really appreciate your help. Thanks so much!
FC - It really depends upon what medication the doctor thinks will work. If it is an SSRI, yes; if it is an MAOI, no. The doc will tell you what to do and how to manage it. For a second (and third) opinion, come back to us. - Cam
