Could Heavy Headedness And Hot Flushes Be Withdrawal Symptoms Of Ciprolex?

My husband was just switched from ciprolex to effexor. He weaned off the ciprolex over 1 week and then began 37.5 mg of effexor. He was taking 2 tablets of Ciprolex and while one worked slightly 2 created panic attacks. He is feeling sad, head feels heavy, hot, sweaty, flushed and alittle dizzy. The doctor recommeded he up to 75mg after 1 week and it has been 3 and he has not increased. I am thinking that he is not taking Csymptoms. He has a follow up in 2 days
