Could changing meds make you sick???
Hi, I have been sick and irratable this past weekend, and I am
sure that it might be because I just changed meds from Effexor
to BUspar and after I had , I had bad stomach aches and also very moody. which isnt really like me that much- anyone do the same?? thanks :D

thanks
I sure will, I feel now that it might be hard to get down off of Effexor because I was on the highest . She gave me 75 mg to get down from for 7
days.
So I then took 5 mg and was sick VERy. But I will tell her-
thank you. :)

Changing any medication, you always run that kind of risk dear, but DI's correct, if things don't get better, see your doc!

I truly hate that, my doc never says that crap to me, that's why I just love her to death! They make so much money, they seem to forget what it's like in our "little part of the world"(so I call it)& their bed-side mannor SUCK! Find a new one, there's one you'll find that WILL help you & won't be such an A-hole!
Blessings!

doctors
guys, seriously, never take anything from your doctors!! you are paying them to help you, and if they dont help you then change doctors or give it back to them. you live with your body and you know best of all what your feeling. yes, you do want to work with them, and you may have tried almost every pill around, so make a list of what works and what doesnt. and then combine some that work. maybe meds arent what you need? ever thought of that? yes there wont be a miracle cure, you still have to work hard yourself to get better, but dont take it from your doc..

I was like that why they changed me from effexor to cymbalta (but I changed; med wasn't covered by my insurance of course).
Coming off of effexor can have some really bad side effects- flu-like symptoms, shock-like sensations, unstable coordination, nausea, vomitting, cold sweats; google it for more information. If it get severe- call your doc ASAP!!! You have to be tapered off of it slow.
