Need help.... Starting to lose it over here

Posted by joeyD on December 31, 2003, at 9:14:01

I am 27 and have had GAD practically all my life. I've tried Paxil which helped for a while then abruptly stopped working about a year ago. At that time my doector put me on 75mg of Effexor XR. It worked for me for about two months, then I started feeling extremely jittery and angry about everything. I realized I started being extremely angry towards those who love me and who I love so I stopped taking it about four months ago. However, recently I have been having extreme (for me) anxiety and mild depression so I started taking Effexor again. It has now been a week since I started and my General Anxiety is worse then ever. Also as of last night I have had really bad OCD symptoms. I had to take Klonopin just to stop my mind from working so much. I woke up this morning with even worse GA and OCD. In addition to all this, I am extremely aggitated about everything and just angry in general!! I dont know what to do. Are these initial symptoms of Effexor? Will they go away?? I feel like I am having a constant panic attack. I cant get in touch with my doctor for another 2 weeks so I dont know what to do!! The only thing that helps me is benzo's right now but I dont like taking them for obvious reasons.

I really could use some advice. Thanks in advance and sorry for the bother
