Has anyone gone off of Prozac and on to Effexor for OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder),Depression and Anxiety? My husband's Dr. told him to just stop taking the Prozac, which helped the OCD but not the anxiety and deppresion, and to just start taking Effexor. He's just started on 37.5mg for 1 week and then on to 75mg per day and then I don't know if he'll need more. He says he's feeling OK so far. A few months ago he tried Paxil which helped his anxiety and deppresion but not the OCD so he went back on the Prozac. Also whenever he stops the Prozac he get bouts of Diarrhea. I'm also on Effexor 75mg. per day for really bad mood swings. I've only been on it for 2 weeks and so far I feel alot better just a little tired. Any stories to share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
