I have tried a number of different ADs. I can't stand the side effects of any of them. My pdoc says if I take klonipin at the same time I can manage.
He has now started me on effexor. I have only taken it twice. I am so tired I can't stand it. I also am having breathing problems and my skin burns.
What do you guys think? Should I quit? I have heard terrible stories about withdrawal. I am wondering if I should try something different or nothing at all.
My main problem is anxiety. The symptoms however are scarey. I feel detached from myself.
Do you think I need something? SHould it be effexor?

I'm on my 4th week of Effexor XR at 75mg. I felt wierd at first but it only lasted a few days and my body adjusted. I don't even notice I am taking it now. Maybe give it a few more days.
