Holy, yes!! The anxiety was really bad, like how I felt before I started taking an anti-anxiety meds but the paranoia?! In the four days I took it I was seriously paranoid every day that I was going to get fired from my full time job AND my part time job. I had nothing to indicate that I would for ANY reason but in my mind I was on the brink of being fired and afraid that my supervisor was talking to our executive director about how I was a bad employee. I stop taking effexor and that very day ALL of that paranoia went away and I felt silly for even questioning my job stability. Since I've stopped taking it I have gone back to minimal anxiety and zero paranoia. No withdrawals because I wasn't on it long enough but definitely going to get prescribed something else because that was NO WAY TO LIVE, even if only for four days.
