OK...I am on 225mg of Effexor Xr, I have been on this for about 5-6months with no problems. I do have anorgasmia (cannot acheive orgasm) My pdoc added Celexa (20mg) to try to augment this. I have been on that about 4 weeks. Well last night I started feeling very strange. My pupils dilated, my ears started ringing, very cold, but sweating, seeing "trails" off of everything that moved, hallucinations. Well I started in with anxiety and ran to my ativan bottle. Within a few minutes, my body started calming down, but I still had the visual hallucinations. I just felt like I wasn't really wasn't here. I was extremely sick to my stomach, and had a headache. You name it I had it. I called my pdocs answering service and the nurse told me to discontinue Celexa and go over to the emergency room. They really didn't do anything, checked me out, my heart was beating irregular, so they did an EKG, but the ativan was kicking in, calming me. I feel a little better, just really spacy! I will stay with my Effexor and deal with the sexual side effect. Effexor has been a miracle for me!!!!
Has anyone every experienced this?
