I Have Anxiety

its been a couple days since ive gone up in my medication (Effexor) and my anxiety has skyrocketed. If anyone else takes the same thing does the same thing happen to you?
When I was on it ages ago, it helped me tremendously but I was not on your high dose.

I suffered from other things like C-PTSD, long term depression, panic attacks and night terrors. I also suffered a lot of suicidal ideation. I had no spit, so I could not masticate solid food. It was a horrific and terrifying time.

Fortunately, this drug solved it all in two weeks, I was back to my old self.
I’m just commenting so I can read the answers. Sounds like good information to know

I have never heard of Effexor but apparently some of the meds I have taken, cause anxiety

I thought it was meant to be for anxiety? ☹

@SW-User it is but recently i started 225mg which is the minimum requirement to treat anxiety. my psychiatrist wants to take things slowly to see what works i guess

@Madboi55 Yeah. Don't be afraid to keep trying til you find a drug that works best for you (after an appropriate adjustment time of course). Effexor was good for me but I remember reading it can take trialling four different meds before finding the right one. All the best.
@Madboi55 That is a very high dose. How long were you on your previous dose, if I may ask?
