LMAOROTF -you are too funny. In all seriousness...you are welcome-it can be tough I understand;)Depakote for me caused a little mental slowness but not much sleepiness-overall it just mellowed me out-it just did nothing for my moods-and I would not tolerate the side effects-that's just me. I know absolutely nothing about strattera :( I should check out a search. And about an Effexor headache.... some do get headaches when they first start BUT again you may not, it's up to you to give it a chance if you DO get a headache to tough it out (you wanted to hear that like you want another basal artery migraine) just kick me in the arse:S
I just want you to feel better!!!!:)
Do what's best for you.What channel should we apply at??? LOL;)

> I think I'm going with the effexor, but yeah; I'm fearful. I'm realizing that the 'headaches' I had on my 3 day bout of strattera last week were probably the severe kind; I'm realizing that the mental confusion I have this week is due to the 'headaches'(basal artery migraines) I had last week, not just the one I had 2 weeks ago. If I wake up with a headache my first day on effexor, I'm ditching it for Depakote.
