Taking Effexor And Changed To Pristiq For Perimenopausal Anxiety Attacks. Is This Anxiety Symptoms?

I have been on Effexor for 4 years then changing to Pristiq for 4 years for perimenopausal anxiety attacks. PCP recommended every other day for a while the. Every 3 days and should be fine. She did give me Xanax prescription because I have tried to wean as she prescribed and would feel tense 3weeks after last dose. I went back onto Pristiq bbecause I was afraid to have another panic attack. Is this withdrawal or return to anxiety symptoms?
