I have been reading some of these posts and a little light bulb is starting to glow in my head. Here I am thinking that it is old age catching up with me, but seems it may not be so.
I am on 300 mg of Effexsor. I have had a bad time since my mom died among other things. I have also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I was taking Elavil for it but when I started on the Effexsor I quit taking it cuz I was afraid I was getting too much anti-depressants. I have very horrible nightmares that they gave me Trazadone for. I have broken off my teeth from the clenching and now I wear a night guard. And the leg and body twitches as I go off to sleep are weird. I have also been suffering from night sweats which I have been attributing to menopause. I am 50 years old and had my uterus taken out 8 yrs ago so I have no gauge. The doctor tells me my hormones are fine. Oh and I forgot to mention that I also have gained 80 lbs after starting the Effexsor. And I have gone from a very caring nice person to one with a bad temper that flares out of control. My hair is getting thinner and thinner on top and awfully white too. When you write it all down it sounds like I am pretty much a royal mess. Is there any hope?
