I had to stop taking effexor cold turkey (not my choice) insurance decided the would no longer help pay for it it will be a week tomorrow and i feel worse every day that goes by. they put me on Citalopram 10 MGa couple days ago I had to take a leave from work because of the withdrawls. the side effecets of the new medicine are some of the same as the withdrawls from effexor so how am i suppose to tell the difference and how long will my head feel like its in a fog ,the neause, the headaches, the pain in differtent areas of my body,hot flashes, the worst of them all are the confusion, constent crying and almost unbearable feeling of losing it so what should i do? or how do i ask my Dr to help me get thru it
