> A comment on your problems with Effexor, Zo:
Just to reiterate my previous posting statement of how our different syndromes etc. affect the uptake of Effexor....since I have been on the drug, I am having NO dreams and no restless leg s/s - which is dramatic for me as I used to not only dream vividly, but have those intense "night terrors". My Fibro pain has been reduced more than 50% and my fatigue has been virtually eliminated...just some sleepiness during the first few hours after taking the drug...and that symptom is becoming more tolerable each new day I'm on the drug. It's amazing how our unique body chemistry integrates these meds, isn't it? That's why the treatment of Fibro/CFS has been so difficult, as these syndromes are so multifaceted that there is no protocol that seems to "fit", even as a baseline. There is so much trial and error with meds that many of us get so frustrated. But I'm so thrilled with the benefits of Effexor in treating my own symptoms, it's hard not to want to shout "try it" from the rooftops!
