I have been taking Effexor for my sudden anxiety attacks for about two months now. It has really helped, and I haven't had a panic attack in a while. However, I noticed that I am a lot hyper, I'm usually shy, and a lot more irratitable than I've ever been. It's like, I'm either in a really great mood, or a really shitty mood. Recently, it's been getting a lot worse. I get really mad easily, and it feels like I can't control myself. I want to hurt myself and HATE myself at that moment, although I haven't felt this way in a while (I've been taking Celexa for my depression for two years, but the doctors switched me to this, because it's an anti-depressant AND an anti-anxiety medication.) Do you think this is just a common side effect, or do you think this is happening because I've switched medications? I know I should be asking my doctor this, but I want to see if anyone else can relate to me. Can you help me out please?
