The Effexor & Zoloft combination was for anxiety (not panic attacks) and depression. Zoloft by itself didn't work. Adding Effexor worked but I had all those side effects and I had no motivation to do anything. Right now I quit taking the zoloft and most of the side effects went away. I think I have a serotonin overload or something like that. I was reading about that when I decided that maybe I didn't need both meds.
When I stopped taking Zoloft, almost all of the side went away. I still have some , but nothing like I had. I am also thinking about not taking the effexor because of all the talk about withdrawl on this site. I have only been taking 75mg for about 3 weeks and I figure that is not long enough to have all the withdrawl effects. There must be a better med out there somewhere.
