Does anyone know what it feels like to be over-medicated on Effexor? I'm currently at 150mg, and at week 5. I am exhausted more than when I first started it, my appetite is gone, and my heart rate shoots to 120bmp just standing up. I also feel dumb as a box of rocks and can't focus.

@AnxiousUni they tapered me off due to creating high blood pressure. I’m Lexapro 20 mg. Works well for me, no panic attacks.
I wanna note* this med was prescribed to me for anxiety and panic attacks. I haven't had a panic attack since I started the med 3 months ago 🤙🏻
I'm on 75 mg and had heart issues but it was due to my heart conditions. I would speak with your prescriber. This doesn't sound like it's working for you.
It is the complete opposite for me. I have my concentration back and feel like myself again. I do feel a little emotionless but I will take that compared to what I was. Maybe Effexor isn’t the right choice for you.
