Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here. I have been having severe depression for approximately 2 years solid, quite often thinking of suicide and lost any desire for activity. I finally decided to go to a doctor and he told me to take effexor, this seemed all fine and dandy at the time. But soon after I got home and had taken the first pill, I found this site. While browsing these forums I have seen some absolute HORROR stories about effexor(mainly the withdrawl). My question is, is it worth it to stay on effexor or should I ask my doctor for a different medicine. Just the thought of brain shivers makes me want to dump all the pills down the toilet.
