> I took my first dose of Effexor last night. I did not go to school or work this morning. I can hardly type. It feels like an acid flash back. My doctor told me that only 3% of people taking Effexor reacts this way. He said it made my anxiety worse and he is right. I feel horrible. Nothing is worth all of those side effects. I would rather cry all day than feel this way.

^^^^^^^^^
Wow, can I relate to this!
My nephew takes EFFEXOR, and, on a lark, I decided to try just one half a tablet of the stuff.
My God, within 40 measly minutes, it felt like I was back in the 60's tripping on acid (I've tripped a number of times).
My whole sense of "being" just melted away, and it felt like I was crawling out of my skin.
I was having sensory hallucinations; i.e., auditory and visual, not as intense as LSD, but, nonetheless,
very similar.
I did *not* like this feeling at all, and needed to take 20 mgs. of Valium to calm down (my heart was racing and I was feverish).

Now, before I get my ass chewed out about this, let me say that I know many people take this drug with success
and I'm very happy for them, but for me, it was a total nightmare.

No mas! No mas!
