So I’ve dealt with anxiety for about 10 years now..usually it’s health anxiety, but lately it has been just general worry… I told my doctor I wanted to go back on meds and she put me on Effexor and it has been horrible. I’ve had panic attacks everyday since starting it. Today I’ve literally had 4 panic attacks and it was so bad I called the ambulance.. I’m starting to think it’s the med causing it. I know it takes a while for a new med to work but I can’t wait around while dealing with these attacks…The whole time I was having the attack I kept telling myself it was just anxiety, I knew it was anxiety , I just couldn’t calm down and the fear overtook me .


It’s been years since I’ve had panic attacks but have had them everyday since I started the Effexor …should I stick with it ? Or maybe try something else? It’s just hard because I don’t wanna keep having these panic attacks
