i was on 225 effexor for years which helped alot. but the past 3 months ive tried a few different antidepressants because effexor was giving me heartburn. well they didnt work to well and the last one i took was 100 mg of zoloft but it wasnt working and as u can guess ive slipped back into depression with chronic crying spells, sadness and anxiety its terrible had to go to the er! i stopped zoloft for 2 days and i actually felt a bit better it was odd but now i can say my depression is terrible and i need to go back on something so i got my doctor to prescribe effexor again. well i tried to take 150mg of effexor which he prescribed and it gave me panic attacks it was scary! so the next day i though maybe ill try the zoloft and sure enough it gave me panic attacks too sighhh thank god i had some klonopin on hand. i need to take something cant handle this depression any longerbut now the antidepressants are giving me panick attacks so im not sure if they work anymore?? will they take another 4 weeks to start working even tho ive used them in the past?? what if i take them and im getting panick attacks everyday from them and they dont end up working? so hard to do this pls need help i dont understand why there giving me anxiety now..
Hi , so sorry … Yes retaking is just like first starting … If they are triggering your anxiety , why not try something more natural .. St johns wort is a great cure for depression , also getting adequate sunshine stimulates the brain chemicals to be cheerful and happy … Another tip is self motivation , good wishes for you and your happiness

I dont know why that posted twice ?
ive been getting sun and also taki g vitamin d3 and unfortunatley it hasent helped.
hi
sorry to hear you feel this way.
i am the same.
i feel awful. ive been on many meds over the past 7 months and now on effexor.
id give it time again for your body to adjust.
also they can give you something fir the heartburn called omeprozole.
i wish you well and again, so sorry that you ate having a tough time.
TY yes it is a hard time for myself latley. what are the main issues your having? for me it was weird taking antidepressants again i didnt think it would initially make my anxiety worse but perhaps that is short term and my body needs to ajust like you said and it goes away
for me its just more anxiety, just my usual symptoms of overthinking, excessive worrying, leading to awful physical symptoms too. restlessness, unable to do anything, being tired but not being able to stay asleep etc..
im hoping my new med works.
hope yours works for you again too.
Dave keep it up , hang in there it takes a long while to work as it should ..magnesium is also great for depression ! It was once called The Chill Pill . .. Dave ,do you meat ?
Hi Tammy, any word on you levels yet ?
Thats what was happening to me alottttt of the same symptoms! i switched from effexor because i was trying to see if it was giving me acid reflux. so i tried a few other medications and i probably needed a higher dose of them i was still trying to find the right dose but i didnt and i slipped back into depression and before i knew it the past month was a complete haze! anxiety and worry all the time, stuck on very sad thoughts, crying spells, and i was feeling terrrrrible there was really no off switch from feeling anxious all the time and it was making ill! lost my appetite too. but now im back on effexor a few days and i can already start to feel things calming down. keep trying and try to get on a medication as fast as possable so you can stop feeling sick. what really helped me get by some of the days i felt sick until i decided to try effexor again was ativan and i also tried klonopin. they deffinitley got me through the day! ativan seemed to work better for me
Do you eat meat ***
hi
no not yet. only got it dine yesterday.
will try to remember and let you know but as i said i dint think they will tell me the levels onoy if its normal or not.
Hey Dave, Melissa Lemon Balm Leaf works really well for anxiety. Chamomile tea very good. I’m taking an otc natural relaxant that is helping me. If your interested in the name just message me. For whatever reason you can post the name of everything else but, not that. Have no idea why. Has been recommended by a lot for anxiety, pain,stress, tension. It’s the only thing that has started to help me with my anxiety after 9 months of this. Hope you feel better. I got hit hard with depression due to peri. I know how you feel. Hugs!!!
