i'm new here and posted last night...i guess i'm being impatient but i'm just anxious to hear some feedback on this. i take 300mg/day of effexor xr for anxiety and depression, and it's been working well for me for over a year.
my psych. doctor gave me some samples of strattera to try for my ADD-ish symptoms (inability to focus/concentrate, distractability--although i've never been diagnosed with ADD--i tried, though!). i have been taking the "taper up" starter dosages for the last two days.
yesterday i was very moody and depressed, crying a lot last night, and woke up sort of anxious this morning. i also feel like this sometimes during PMS (despite the effexor), so it might be due to PMS, but i thought it was weird that i just started feeling like this since taking the strattera.
has anyone had any similar experiences? help...i have a lot of work to do (i'm starting a business and trying to finish my masters') and an anxiety/depression attack right now would really mess things up. :(
thanks in advance for any help or advice.
