I was on Prozac for a good month before work started stressing to the point where every day I was having a panic attack over something said or done.
Effexor: I was constantly hot all the time to the point I was sleeping with a fan on high and jumbo ice packs on my back. It also made me super irritable and I really didn't sleep a lot on it, hardly at all really. I also went right back to having horrible panic attacks even more frequent than on the Prozac. I was miserable on both medications. I think Effexor made me severely Hypo.
There was one day on Seroquel that I had a super good day at work with no anxiety and I was more bubbly and focused more on work then the next day I woke up depressed and severely irritable everyone annoyed me this day, I was also fired this day too. I think this was probably a hypo crash and I didn't recognize the symptoms since I was so new to Bipolar. Being fired also sent me into a depressed tailspin where I spent all day in bed and not wanting to do anything. Ever since I've been on 200mg I'm okay, there is no hypo and there is no depression.
