Hello,
I have been taking effexor ex for the past 4 months with nice results. Lately life has not been so nice and added a ton of stress and crisis to my life. I also quit smoking with the help of the nicotine patch. YIKES!! The patch says that it can cause panic attacks and anxiety for people who take meds for depression.. Bingo, that would be me.. I also have gad. Since I have never "really" tried to quit smoking before for more than a day.. I am on day 12 right now, I don't know what I am feeling is normal or not. I feel like a raging mad woman. I wake up with my insides so wound up that I feel as though I might explode, very anxious, nervous, full of rage, .. basically like a bitch on wheels. I am not sure if it is the stopping smoking, the effexor and the patch or what!! Anyone with any help or ideas or stories.. I would be greatful. I have resulted in taking some adivan durring the day just to survive. I hate this feeling and need any thoughts you guys have for me. Thanks so much!!
Nat
