Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I have been on effexor xr a few times for anxiety and previously it has worked well. This time unfortunately I started on 75mg then up to 150mg for the past month. But the past 10 days I have hada uncontrollable crying almost everyday over things I wouldn t normally cry over. I m very confused and feel the effexor is not working this time round.
Hi, I can understand that you are severely depressed and not able to control yourself, i just want to know if you have any suicidal thoughts as there is sudden exacerbation of your symptoms
If that is the case, electroconvulsive therapy is suggestible if not, you can switch to mirtazapine r ESCITALOPRAM to combat your symptoms Thank you
