Thanks River, nope-I don't have epilepsy and I'm not prone to mania, and yep I skipped a dose and cut it back I now am only taking 100mg instead of 200mg. Nope-you're not the only one who just skips a dose or reduces a dose or stops taking a med-I won't put up with feeling horrible like this.
What have you heard about Lexapro????
I really think I need an antidepressant instead of Effexor-think it stopped working and thought about giving Lexapro a shot. I've been on almost every med except that and Zoloft for depression. Soooooo
wish me luck with the doc tomorrow!What do you think?
> Unless you have epilepsy or very prone to mania, why don't you just skip a dose or reduce the the dose or stop taking it. Am I the only one who does that if the side effects are horrid? I'm glad you see your doctor soon. In the future, go to your drug store and ask your pharmacist to call your doctor: doctors tend to call pharmacies back...maybe that way you could have had your prescription altered. PS: Ask your doctor what you should do if something like this happens again. I've tried lots of meds and I usually insist the doctor give me an "escape clause" if the med starts to cause annoying problems.
