> Hey, Lynn, how about some free lawyer advice??--Just kidding! I stopped taking Effexor because even 37.5 mg made me a zombie and I experienced the same "diddling away" of my time at work! I have hypothyroidism and take thyroxine and Cytomel. Wonder if the rather different metabolic life of brain cells might explain some of the differences in reactions to ADs? Just something to kick around in our spare time (at work??).

The worst symptopm of my depression was the inability to get things accomplished at work (I'm an attorney) and the inability to conentrate. I would not be able to recall accurately how I spent my time all day (which is not good if you bill by the hour!). I agree you should wait until after a critical presentation to start, but give it a try. Remember it often takes several weeks to see the actual benefits from this medication, and you probably will need to play with the time of say you take it. The drowsies became much better after I started taking it in the early to late evening.
