Melley, I have had carpal tunnel for a long time now, but since I started taking effexor xr(a week ago today) the pain has doubled. I had an emg test last tuesday and I will get the results (for sure carpal tunnel) on Thursday and we will schedule the surgery soon. I will also let my doctor know that I stopped the effexor xr. After last nights worst ever panic attack, I'm very leary about bedtime. I have had the brain zaps all day long, and a very painful pressure epecially at my frontal lobe (my forehead). I'm in fear of having another panic attack. But, I haven't paced in 2 days. I walked from my kitchen, to my dining room into my living room and back into my kitchen friday night in circles like a complete freak, for no reason and my husband was standing in the kitchen and I didn't even notice him. He had to make me stop. That's nutzo. Well, I accidently took another dose of the Effexor XR and finally Saturday I said forget it. PLEASE REMEMBER - just because this happened to me, doesn't mean its going to happen to anyone else. I may not have given the Effexor enough time to work, true, but...I can't take the chance that its going to make me crazy or (lol) CRAZIER! I'm going to get exercise, and I'm going to keep moving (but not in freakin' circles like a zombie), and I'm going to laugh as much as I can, whether it be funny movies or whatever...I'm going to beat depression my way...Good luck to all.
