Smprz84 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Any suggestions on which one will work better with my Haldol. Been taking Effexor for couple weeks but get weird twinges in my heart so I'm wondering if Prozac might work better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt07 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 What dosage of Effexor are you taking? I works as basically an SSRI up to around 150 mg where the norepinephrine component begins to kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowan77 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Am currently on Prozac 40mg and like it. I don't have any side effects. I was on Effexor years ago and my dose ranged between 150mg and 375mg. It made me manic at a high dose, caused night sweats but other than that it actually increased my blood pressure and I had to get my blood pressure taken once a month to make sure it didn't go too high. My GP also ordered an ambulatory blood pressure monitor and thankfully all was ok, however my blood pressure was always a bit high the entire time I took effexor. My heart rate was also faster than normal, even at rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smprz84 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'm currently taking the Effexor with Haldol and get chest pains...so maybe it related to the increased heart rate thing. I'm switching over to Prozac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
