boo - Sometimes doctors and pharmacists have to be cheerleaders. The start-up side effects of many drugs really suck, and much of my time is spent trying to convince people to keep taking the drug for the first month.
I took my second dose of Effexor today and about 1/2 hour later I had a cigarette. I got so dizzy I didn't think that I would make it back into the house from the garage. I am also feeling a bit queasy and have a stiff neck (that could have been my massage from yesterday, though; my masseuse has an elbow that would put Gordie Howe to shame). C'est le vie.
Thanks for the positive feedback on Effexor. If you ever plan on coming off the drug, make sure you do wean slowly and you should have little problem coming off the drug.
Take care and thanks for the post - Cam
