> I'VE BEEN ON EFFEXOR XR FOR 5 MONTHS, AND TRAZODONE FOR 1 MONTH. (AT NIGHT TO HELP WITH MY SLEEP) I FELT A DIFFERENCE WITH THE EFFEXOR (POSITIVE), BUT NOW I'M FEELING ULTRA-DEPRESSED AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE IF I'M DEPRESSED OR EXPERIENCING ANXIETY AT TIMES. I'M SO CONFUSED 'COS I KNOW THE SYMPTOMS OVERLAP. I HAVE A HARD TIME SLEEPING, YET I AM AM EXTREMELY EXHAUSTED AT TIMES. I FEEL SO SUICIDAL, YET I KNOW I WON'T ACT ON IT. I CAN BURST INTO TEARS IN JUST SECONDS. I CAN'T CONCENTRATE. I FEEL LIKE A BALL OF CONFUSION AND AM GOING THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY????? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME, OR HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SEE-SAW EFFECT. IT'S EXHAUSTING THE LIFE OUT OF ME. I HAVE MY NEXT APPT. WITH MY DR. ON 9/8/00 AND FULLY INTEND ON EXPLAINING THIS, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, CAN ANYONE RELATE??
Hi, i know what you are talking about. I was on effexor and levoxal (sleeping aid) and for a while the effexor helped then I statrted getting manic{ crying all the time, my moods would suddenly change).Hopefully a new medicine will help. For me I just stopped taking the meds. I have tried so many antidipressents and they just made me feel awful. I feel so much better without them. Hope things work out for you. You are not alone!
