Renee, all of this happened about 6 years ago, so i have been off the stuff for about 3 years. Over the last year 2001, it seems like some of the symptoms i had prprior to using effexor ( slight depression etc ) were creeping up on me. Talking with family members I found out, some of them also had bouts with the same symptom. There seems to be some question as to whether hypothyroidism may not be the cause. 3 of my family take synthroid, which has helped them a lot. So I'm having blood testing for that today.
I have been reading a lot on the internet about hypothyroidism in the last few days, and its wierd how many of the symptoms i have. My older sister tried herbal remidies without any success. Am unsure what I'll actually do, I just need some type of resolution, i'm tired of feeling crappy.
good luck
Tom
