These are wise words; I hope things turn out well for you!
I have had a worrisome experience with Effexor as well. I was prescribed Effexor in
the morning and Neurontin for the evening. I began with Neurontin the first night;
it proved efficacious enough, though there were a bevy of annoying side-effects the
following day. On that day, I took Effexor in the morning for the first time. Shortly
after swallowing the Neurontin at night, I suffered an appalling reaction: the exterior
of my head felt as if it were on fire, the interior as if it were exploding! I additionally
suffered severe chills and a frightening diminuition in lucidity, and spent the night
crunched in the fetal position. I would have dialed 911 had I been able to move. I
felt I was going to die.As Effexor is more relevant to my difficulties, I gave up the Neurontin and there were
no more of these episodes - thank goodness. I have seen quite a few complaints about
troubles with each of these drugs: I would recommend great caution before combining
them.
Best regards,
