as little as 75mg of Effexor XR ruins my day...
I get agitated and my intestine fills up like a balloon with gas. My face swells and I begin crave food like a freak. I lose motivation to do anything and sleep all day (although I'm prone to nap when I can anyways). I get increased muscle aches. I think I actually fare better in misery than on pills. My doc is willing to keep me on a steady diet of benzos and stimulants until something better comes along. I've tried everything else there is and either it fails to work or I can't tolerate it. I don't want to become Elvis Presley with the uppers and downers, but the Effexor actually makes my face bloat like his did in the late 70's. Any thoughts on how I should proceed? 1)go with doc's advice. 2) see yet another doc. 3) kill myself. 4)otherScott
