In reply to How can i counteract Effexor side effects?, posted by Anna Laura on November 14, 2001, at 4:29:31
Is your pdoc willing to consider stimulants? I was on effexor and it worked well, but the side effects eventually drove me off of it (weight gain, sluggishness and sexual dysfunction). In retrospect, I wish my pdoc had just added some Adderall to the mix. I think it would have taken care of the side effects and I could have stayed on a med that was otherwise working. Hope this helps.
