Mental Health my doc wanna kill me?!

[bambarbia]

my doctor prescribed me effexor - "a new generation antidepressant". After taking it for the first time I was scared to death. It gives amazing vivid dreams a la Carlos Castaneda mixed with awful nightmares. In between of those nightmares I noticed that my anxiety abated. But my dreams became hardly bearable. I moan, miao, moo when they come trying just to wake up. The next mornig after me watching tables, graphs,cartoteques and what not - item registration codes - I asKed my doc if he could change the course of treatment a bit. He said: "Well, well, when do you take it? In the evening? Take it in the morning then"8(
I don't consider my doctor a bad person, I respect him - the other doctors don't prescribe new drugs at all just to be on the safer side

Probably not.

Effexor is known to be one of the hardest psych drugs to quit, or hardest drug to quit period. FYI.

Welcome to the site.

Wait a minute - do you mean it's hard to get rid of them taking? I am a dumb girl from Poland sorry

Oh My God. Doc is there for you to help, not to kill.

If he gave you meds that is "painful" then explain it to him, don't bitch on forum.

On most meds you will feel like crap in beginning, that's the part of healing

Hey Bambardia, welcome to Bluelight! I think your doctor might have just been thinking that it might help you not to have the nightmares if you switched the schedule of how you take it. I have heard that same thing before so you may want to try it if it is helping your anxiety.

Thanks. Yes my doctor is very resourceful. Now I take half-a-pill in the morning and half-a-pill in the afternoon. Numbers, сard files, commodity indexes haunting me still
