Hello. . .I am new to this panic sight and have suffered PD for 7 years but it has recently gotten much worse since I have moved to Charlotte (new city, new marriage, no friends here. . .had to leave my old job in different city) Ironically, I have spent my professional career working in Pharmaceuticals and have a lot of insight into the different meds. I took Zlft and then also was weaned off to Lexapro. I know people who love the Lexapro, but for me, I had really bad side effects such as anger (I am usually mellow) and more intense anxiety and nervousness. Moving between meds is very complex and uncomfortable for the person. Sometimes the process is easier when supplemented with Xanax or something of that nature. Anyone have any thoughts on Effexor??? I was just put on Prozac 20-mg and my doc recommened this as alternative. . this I don't have any first hand knowledge. Hope you feel better and p.s. if anyone KNOWS ANY GOOD DOC RECOMMENDATIONS IN CHARLOTTE NC, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I AM AT A LOSS HERE.
