I'm so spiraling down the rabbit hole. .... AGAIN. I have been taking Pristiq for a little over a month and my anxiety has gotten worse. I know it's an SNRI, so I think it's giving me too much adrenaline and causing all of these problems.
I'm constantly shaking. Last night my chest (and muscles everywhere kept tightening up and then loosening. It freaked me out. It was going on and on all night. All sorts of twitching. My heart was beating out of control. Klonopin barely put a dent in it. When I was on lexepro before this (which I didn't feel was helping as much, so we switched meds). At least with that med I did not feel what i'm feeling now. Has anyone had anything similar . I always thought increased anxiety came at the beginning of starting a med-- which it did, but now it feels worse than ever. I can't continue taking this. I haven't take my pristiq this morning as I am waiting from a call back from my doctor. I wonder if I can just stop the pristiq or will I get withdrawls? I'm so depressed, anxious, and sleep deprived which makes everything worse. Thanks for listening and offering any advise you can.
