2 wks on effexor having side effects not mentioned

Posted by knitwhit on November 3, 2001, at 13:19:39

by my pdoc. I was previously on paxil then zoloft, which provided little help. So we're trying the effexor and even though the blue, flat feeling is gone, my patience level is at a bare minimum and the angry outbursts are far more frequent. And the anxiety levels are bad. If I'm not knitting I'm picking my cuticles, biting my fingernails, etc. Need to keep the hands busy or they wind up a mess. My spouse is concerned about the personality changes and parenting a 2 year old is challenging enough as it is, but right now I feel like I'm being way too hard on my little one.

I've noticed the changes too, and don't like it one bit, but felt that maybe it's just one of those transitional things. It's nice to have a "voice" back, unfortunately it's a lot bitchier than I thought it would be.

Help! Should I call my pdoc or what?
