Does Anyone Feel This Way And Does Prozac Work? Posted: 10-11-04 17:03pm
I'm 30yrs old and I started to get panic
attacks about 3 months ago. Had about 3
of them, 2 that landed me in the hospital.
After the doctors at the hospital made me
think I was crazy because they couldnt
find anything wrong with me I finally made
a doctor's appt. The doctor listened to
things that were going on in my life and
said I had gad. He handed me samples of
effexor xr and away I went. When I came
home the first thing I did was searching
the net to see what side effects the
effexor had. Big mistake! I found
everything bad about the pill and then
made a decision not to take them. I
continued to take the xanax when needed
but tried to get through days without
them. Its been 5 weeks since and now im
getting physical symptoms: (pressure in my
head, jaw feels tight, cramps in stomach,
and empty feeling inside, unexplainable
feelings). Went to another doc today to
get a second opionion and told him all of
my mental and physical symptoms. He said
that if I wanted to take the effexor that
would be fine but it might give me some
anxiety where the prozac wont. He assures
me that everyone is different on any
medications and that all meds have nasty
side effects that ppl dont normally see.
Has anyone had these feelings, physically
or mentally and did the prozac work?
Thank you for your time to read this sorry
for the length. :d
