Effexor xr (Scared to death)
Hi everyone,
My gyn has put me on Effexor xr. I am just reading up on this medicine and I am scared to death. I am on my 3rd day and feel nauseous, but other than that okay. What scares me is when it's time to get off it. The doctor said she will only keep me on for one year and then give me prozac to get off it. When I was in her office I didn't think anything of it, but after reading so much on the internet, just petrified of all the withdraw that I am reading. I've never been on any medicine like this other than my asthma.
Reading about it, is very scarey. But I am not much for medicine to begin with.
I am half tempted to just stop and deal with the reasons she put me on it. But hubby thinks I should give it a try and give the medicine some time.
Has anyone else been on this medicine? If so, how did you do?
Thanks in advance.
