Heres the situation, I have been dealing with unbelievable anxiety for the past couple of months and I was prescribed Effexor to help with the anxiety. The Effexor worked in reducing my anxiety presenting in panic attacks and getting rid of the constant knot in my stomach.
But ever since I started, I have developed dissociative problems. I can't seem to get out of it, like I'm constantly stuck in this state. I see things that I recognize and have seen before but they seem to be foreign to me. Sometimes words in English seem like foreign alien language. I just feel like I'm so distant from everyone else on this earth, like I can't have a connection with anybody. I just always feel so lost all the time like I never feel like myself anymore. Just want to know if there are other people out there who have gone through this or go through dissociation.

Sometimes I miss the panic attacks and constant anxiety because I felt like myself far more often.

Life just keeps landing body shots.

I used to feel that way when I got stoned all the time. Have you told your pdoc? If meds screwed me up worse than the problem I'd quit taking them. Just saying. I hope you get better

That sounds like important feedback information for the prescribing doctor. Good luck.
