Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking 75 mg of Effexor for approximately 14 years. I have recently not had insurance coverage. I tried to wean myself down the last week of taking what I had left. I currently have zapping feelings in my head and for some reason I can not go to sleep even after taking a couple of sleeping pills. When I do sleep I have terrible night mares. I was put on this medication because I was diagnosed with PTSD. But now not have the stress in my life from my ex-husband and my mother I am thinking I will be able to work through the anxiety much better. Do you have any recommendations for the symptoms and what I can do. Thank you so much for your time.
Now it is the symptoms there that might be due to some psychiatric illness but as you said even with the symptoms you are doing well so just keep it up, now no need to think about the medicine if you can come out of the stress and anxiety even without the help of medicines then it will be much better for you so just keep it up now no need to look back, good luck
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
