To answer both of the previous posts on this thread:
I have acute stress brought on by 18 months of severe verbal abuse by my boss. (I'm an over-achiever, afraid of failure, but always set myself up for it anyway.) I also have depression, which seems to be mildly bi-polar and cyclic.
You know, you're right, since starting the Ambien CS, each night and subsequent day has been worse. I cried for two solid hours in the wee hours of this morning, and I haven't really cried since I started taking Effexor about 4 weeks ago. And the anger and impatience are returning. Hmmmmmmmm -- it may just be lack of sleep. Only got 2 hours the night before, and it took me 10 hours to get about 5 hours of broken sleep last night.
I'm going to try two 5mg tablets tonight. The Rx is for 1-2 tablets, as needed.
I've also been in an almost chronic state of hyperventilation for the past 3 or 4 days. Feels like a Mac loader is sitting on my chest.
I just want to feel good. I want to be happy in a normal way, not so forced I become almost wired in behavior. And does anyone else have a problem drinking coffee since starting Effexor? I've found that one cup starts the chest-crushing feeling.
