> > > >I weigh about 125 and am 5'4". I've lost close to 10 pounds since I started taking effixor. I am more pale than I was when I started taking effexor. I am normally olive complected but now I'm just white so I think the effexor did change something. Maybe taking an iron supplement will help. I don't know, what do you think?

Hi,
I take 300mg and 5'8 120, but always been thin, it's just now I look kind of unhealthy-thin, you know what I mean?
I am on iron and I have to take 3 pills to the normal one(daily-dose)...doctor's orders.I am half italian and half swiss, so I have the tendency tobe olive undertones in my pigment. I 've had to change from biege to ivory foundation/powder.
Hy mom tells me I look gothic.
The question is does it help you so far?
Are you one the pill too? Is your periods any different? More cramps or less or the same as always? Can you orgasm? I can't and it's makes me sexually dissinterested.sorry, I am so blatant , but I want to get the bottom of this for me?
Thanks.

I had my lips lightly tattoed with the "permanant makeup", to put some color in them so I did not look so pale, and ugly...and my lips bled and bled,that the color only stayed in for a week or so. The lady was a professional in her field and asked me if I drank much alcohol, I said,"hell,I hate alcohol". She insisted the only people that really bleed alot are the ones who drink and she never saw anyone bleed so much. $450.00 gone.
