Has any ladies out there been prescribed Venlafexin(Effxor)?? Today was my 1st day

Question

Ive had terrible anxiety,and anger lately,I told my doc. She took me off of Celexa,which is mild I believe. From what Ive read about this one is strong and extremly hard to get off of.
That definitely worrries me. But I think I need to try it. Im kinda losing my mind...
Anybody have experience with these meds?
Thanks!

Answer

I was on it when I was younger but I can't remember how it was. My doctor just put me on lexapro and I'm scared to start it because I know someone who's been on it forever and she said she gets brain zaps from it. I also got put on lamictal and apparently there's a side effect of a deadly rash and meningitis. Once my search for a better job is completed I might just switch to a more natural solution. 🍃🚬Meds are poison even tho some of us need it through no fault of our own
