Hi Amanda: Here's my question, how long have you been on Effexor? ..and if you get off of it, what are the chances of reoccuring panic attacks, do you know, or does anyone know? The reason I ask, I was prescribed Effexor, 3 years ago. I was to be on it for approx 6 month. It took me another 6 months to get off of it, because of the withdrawal symptoms. That was worse than the anxiety I was having to start with! Although now, the anxiety has develped up to panic attacks and I'm open to an Anti-D, I'm just really afraid of the physical withdrawal. Has anyone else had a problem with this?
