> i have been taking clonazepam 0.25 to 0.5/day to coop with the side effects of effexor. now i think i am dealing with the withdrawal from effexor even though i've been on it for just 3 weeks!!! i still have palpitations ( not as bad as before but still very scary!), nausea, heavy dizziness and lightheadness, poor concentration etc...
> I think you mentioned somewhere that you're very sensitive to drugs. Me too. I've learned to ask my pdocs to start me on low doses of things. Related: When I took benzos to help me with my depression-related anxiety, I took very low doses, like 0.5mg Ativan at bedtime, but I would still feel kinda foggy and have a hard time concentrating the next day, so that might explain at least that symptom you're having. Just an idea...
