Yes it can! Let your Dr know that you have the same symptoms and it doesn't appear to be working. You could need either a different dosage or different medication, everyone has a different reaction to meds, so there's an adjustment period!
Good Luck, ;-) |

First of all its great that you are aware of what is happening, that you are "man" enough to acknowledge that something out of the ordinary is happening and you are doing something about it.
It is best to talk to the doctor who prescribed the medication, it may need to be reviewed to see if there is a better medication.
There is also other types of therapies especially for agoraphobia - talk to your doctor.
But of all things know that this happens to approx 3.2 million people in the U.S. alone at one stage of their life. |

Its can be just the medication making you feel abit spaced out, my mum suffers with anxiety and depression and is on medication and always says she feels abit out of it.
but I also suffer with anxiety and depression but haven't been to the doctor or been put on medication yet and I still find myself staring into space feeling empty and out of it :/
so the answer is yes.

Look up derealization/depersonalization. I think you will be able to relate to what you read based on what you're saying....also there are some fairly interesting stories about it on YouTube.... |

i think it is the medications that are making you feel out of it.
i cured myself of severe anxiety through holistic medicine (ayurveda) without drugs of any kind.
the best book is "vital energy" by dr. david simon (medical director of the famous chopra center in ca).
diet changes, yoga, listening to certain music, deep breathing, and calming "self-talk" were the methods i used to escape that hell.
google ayurveda and anxiety.
may you regain your peaceful mental state, without drugs. |

That is EXACTLY how I feel. It's scary, huh?
I'm on 10mg of Prozac and I'm in an "Out of it" state most of the time. Like someone else is controlling my physical body and I'm just in my own head....
You can't really begin to explain the feeling. All I know is that it's terrible. Definitely talk to your doctor about it. Get back with me because I want to know what the deal is with me too!
It's normal I guess, since I feel it and my brother is on Prozac because of that too!
Darn genetics. |

Not all drugs for depression work on all people, effexor didn't work for my daughter either. Need to discuss your concerns with your physican, there are a lot of different drugs on the market today for depression. Keep on it. |

Yes it is quite normal to feel this way and Effexor will take time to build up in your system before you notice any benefits, if however you have been on it for at least a month and you arenot feeling any improvment go back to your Dr the dosage may be incorrect or it may not be the right type of meds for you, sometimes you have to try a few different antidepressants before you find the one that works. |

Question:
How long have you been on the medication?
Anything under a month, you will feel VERY VERY strange... Don't give up the meds until you have gone past a month...
I can't even beging to describe the strangeass side effects I felt when getting on the meds I'm on...
CHeck out this site... It will spell out the good, the bad, and the ugly of being on meds...

Yeah that definitely will. Especially anxiety. Though it could be the medication also, many anxiety medications make you feel out of it. But you'll be fine:) Just hang in there! You are not getting scizophrenia that is just your anxiety talking. |
