Two weeks ago I was put on Celexa. The side effects were awful, but my dr thought they were too awful and switched me straight to venlafaxine 150mg day.
The first day I took it it felt like straight up speed. I was even checking my heart rate. What comes up must come right back down though. Two weeks I have just felt awful. The nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats are gone, but I have just a constant skin crawling antsy-ness, if that makes sense. About an hour after I take it in the morning, until about an hour before I have to take it again in the evening. I am really good at sleep, but I am waking constantly now. Last night I got two hours. I'm not having full on crying anxiety attacks where there is release, just constant anxiety. But at the same time I'm exhausted. I can't even be productive with it.
I just want to know if anyone has had this and if it stops. At this point I feel worse than before the meds. I know it can help, so I just need to know if this is going to stop.
With the lack of sleep and anxiety, I feel like I'm losing it.
