How Can Severe Anxiety And Panic Attacks Be Treated?
Yes, Thank you. I am currently taking 150mg of Effexor XR . Prescribed for sever panic attacks and anxiety. I have been on it for many years. I have not had a panick attack in quite some time and would like to reduce my dosage. The prescibing Dr has since retired, so I spoke with my other Dr. about reducing the dosage. What is your opinion on how to go about this safely. Dosage.? how often? time period? I would like to reduce dosage to 75mg. Thank You

Hello,
In my opinion, how long no panic attacks. It would be useful to reduce dose to 75 mg. If there are no panic attacks for 6 months.
Meanwhile, make sure the period is non stressful. Adequate sleep and rest is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gayathri
