I've tapered from Effexor in the past and it was the worst experience of my life. I thought I was going crazy!
My doc is open to me taking some sort of antidepressant though.
I don't know if that would be a lower or higher dose of Effexor (I wonder if a higher or lower dose would bypass the serotonin or lessen it) or take Buspar or what.
In the past it was serotonin meds (Prozac, Zoloft, etc, that ruined my teeth with all the clenching and grinding).
I've failed: Zoloft, Prozac, pritiq (awful tummy problems too), lexapro and Effexor (same tummy problems as pritiq.)
She did call me back and said that I did not have an ear infection that it is an issue with my Eustachian tubes not draining properly which could be due to the swelling from clenching and grinding.
He's the BIG problem. My steroid inhaler for my asthma, sudaphed and mucinex (to help drain my ears) just increase the anxiety 100 times over! These are meds I have to take.
It's just that time if year. I can always up my Trileptal to deal with the issues from steroids and sudaphed.
But I still wonder if all the clenching and grinding aren't due to the Geoon?
Or maybe, like my regular md thinks, I need to take something to help with the anxiety.
But what?
I had an out and out panic attack last night, full blown OCD due to being high on sudaphed and from the pain.
It sucks being BPII !
