In reply to Prozac to Effexor, posted by JJ12 on December 19, 2002, at 9:20:38
> Hi,
>
> Just recently switched from Prozac (30 mg/day) to Effexor XR.
> I was doing really well on Prozac, but noticed that I tended to be quite anxious about things that I really shouldn't be. So my doc switched me to Effexor. I am starting with the starter pack and then have a prescription for 75 mg/day.
>
> I am not sleeping - I sleep for periods of 3 hours at a time during the night and then wake up. I am eating constantly. I don't know if I should attribute this to the change in meds or just me being me. I want my prozac back!!!
>
> I don't want to go back to the doc - am thinking about stopping and working my way back up to the 30 mg dose of prozac.

> Any advice?You pretty much said it all: "I was doing quite well on Prozac.." I would bug your doc about switching back. Perhaps some CBT therapy for the "worry" issues?
