Recovery from Alcoholism and Effexor

Posted by Baila on August 27, 2001, at 15:48:06

I have been in recovery for 4 years now from alcoholism and drug addiction. I also suffer from chronic depression and generalized anxiety. I developed an addicion to Xanax due to my anxiety, but it only made things worse for me because I am also an addict. I have tried to quit taking Effexor 4 times since I have been in recovery, and each time I find I just can't function. I also experience withdrawal symptoms including headaches, heart palpitations. I get extremely agitated, and extremely anxious. I have not made it longer than 5 weeks off of the Effexor without just "losing it." Has anyone had this expreience.
