My exams are around the corner and because of this med change I can't concentrate on studying AT ALL. I also feel lethargic but when I am on the bed I can't sleep at all; I just toss and turn on the bed.
With what little experience I had with antidepressants I knew this isn't good so I'm meeting my pdoc next week.
Just wanna hear thoughts of anyone who faced this with Effexor XR. The last time I had this kind of medication-induced anxiety is on Luvox... but this is by far worse than Luvox.
(I feel like crying because of this med T_T)

Sorry to hear, yes Effexor was like that for me, and another bad thing with Effexor is, it can cause weight gain. You might like Nefazodone or you can try benzodiazepines or Neurontin for your anxiety. Best of luck and hang in there!
