> I tried to go to work today, I could stayonly an hour, I was nauseated and anxious, and somehwat depressed to thepoint I still can't eat. I had to leave after only an hour at work bcause I couldnt take it. I called thepdoc and he told me to try to take some respiradl that I had, which I did, it cut the anxiety to a tolerable level, but I still feel overwhelmed. I can't believe that almost 2 weeks ago I was on 75 mg and I felt good, I'm confused... it's like something just happened,I started sliding down the slippery slope. My pdoc keeps on asking me If i have anny additional stress that is occurring, and I really cant think of anything that would trigger such a fast downfall. Did anyone have something like this happen to them? I'm wanting to go up to see if things will change, but I increased to 112 on thursday and It's been nothing but hell since then.
You felt good at 75mg? Well, as a layman I'd suggest dropping down to that level. Effexor affects different neurotransmitters at different doses. I believe Serotonin at the low end and Norepinephrine at the high end. Normally, the high end is around 187.5mg or 225mg, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe your high end is lower due to metabolism, weight, etc. Norepinephrine could be the culprit in you jitteriness.
