One things after another? Is it possible that by treating my depression with venlafaxine, it's uncovered numerous underlying problems? I feel as though I'm going crazy here....I had severe depression, didn't respond to citalopram or fluoxetine, so started on venlafaxine in January. Since then, my depression is a LOT better, but I've been having problems with anxiety, panic attacks, and now some OCD symptoms too....

Is it possible that the depression overshadowed everything else and now that it's being treated the other problems have come to light? I feel as though I'm just getting over one thing and more appear!

I will talk to my psychiatrist about this, and about all my other questions that I've posted here, but I'm not seeing her again until the end of May. I'll have to see my GP before then for more medication, I don't know how much I should tell him (bearing in mind it's a 10 minute appointment).

Summarized question: Are anxiety, panic attacks, and OCD symptoms a side effect of venlafaxine?
