I hope someone can reassure me as i am really getting into state with anxiety. i weaned off effexor slowly and start taking flouxetine 4 weeks ago. I have been pretty much up and down the last few weeks, and initially i put it down to withdrawal from effexor and starting new meds. i have been having horrible dizzy spells, panic attacks, feeling like i cant cope.
On friday i woke up feeling really anxious with chest and neck pain, i took some rescue remedy which i dont think helped me much. Yesterday i had a much better day and worked all day and was fine. Now today is another kettle of fish altogether, i feel spaced out, have neck pain and the left side of my face feels numb, like i have had it numbed at the dentist and it is just wearing off. At one point today i thought i was having a stroke.
I just want the anxiety to go away and my meds to start working, i was on flouoxetine a few years back and it worked great. I feel like i am missing out on so much of life, making excuses and feeling ill all the time.
Sorry for going on but i really need some reassurance ..:weep:
