Posted by Patty on April 18, 2000, at 22:02:57

Hi there,
I need some insight.... had severe depression starting in October and was on 200 mgs Zoloft.. brought down to 150 mgs. My doctor has now put me on Effexor XR I am up to 75 mgs a day.
I am very anxious.. and my body has withdrawl immediately when I have missed my pill by even 1 1/2 hour. Is this normal? I don't
have problems with weight gain.. in fact am down to 99 lbs.... and can't afford to lose more. I am also taking Dezyrel and am being slowly taken
off ativan. Although I have good days... I still have fatigue and am irritable. I seem to be racing everywhere..
I have had 3 fainting spells all in the same day... but nothing since. Just a feeling of tenseness. HELP!!!
any ideas??????
Thanks
