In reply to Have I got too many side-effects?, posted by cherry on October 17, 2002, at 23:09:03
Hi everyone. I am scared to death. I used to drink a lot 2001-2002....stopped finally last november 2002. In between 2001 and 2002 I was on paxil for anxiety and depression. It worked and i stopped taking it after 4 months on my own.
Well now im going through tough times maybe losing my job, and all my crazy anxiety thoughts and depression returned. I saw a new doctor and told him about my current thoughts and that i needed help but didnt want to take paxil because it caused me to have a foggy head....well lets just say after 4 days of effexor, I feel like im out of my mind. I dont know if its the effexor or the drinking a year ago...it doesnt make sense, i know...but my anxiety has only gone up. My brain is completely fogged out...i cant concentrate or see clearly...blurred vision, slowed vision...sweaty palms and even shakier hands than usual. Is this normal effexor side effects, or am i nuts and brain damaged from drinking????? HELP...i feel completely crazy, like i cant go on...I called the doc and he said to discontinue effexor and see him next week...help.
