> My doctor just perscribed this med to me and after taking Effexor for a year and having such problems with it I'm really scared to try another.
> I was on Effexor and was doing well so my doctor tapered me off because me and my husband were wanting to start our own family and I had the worst withdrawl symtoms...after 3 weeks of not taking it anymore I still have alot of the withdrawl symtoms. I really dont't want to start on any new meds but I'm feeling like I did before I ever took the meds. I'm scared to death of taking anything anymore because of the bad luck I've had. After reading alot of the different threads..I don't need to gain weight because I gained so much on Effexor.If anyone has tried to stop taking this med please let me know because I'm not going to go through all the withdrawls I went through when I was on Effexor. I may just try to hack it on my own without the meds...who knows....hey hunny i was exactly like you... effexor helped my depression and gave me bas after affects gave me anxiety the worst ever.... 2 yrs ago that was... i have been taking celexa now for 1 week it has worked wonders... give it a go... not all meds are the same.. plse try it.. u need to.. xx email me if you like crazychickuk@aol.com
