I can't take Prozac etc in that class so we went to Effexor, small dose with samples was wonderful. I have diabetes, Effexor made the carb cravings go away, helped the Nuerophathy and was great. Then went to 75 mi in samples. Nausea became really bad, no cravings went to wanting no food at all. I couldn't eat, lost 12 lbs. etc. dizzy to the point of staggering, lost interest in everything, no emotions at all. It went from good to horrible in four weeks. I stopped it. The withdrawal is horrible. I had chest pains, arm pains, slept for 14 hours and slept for 3 hours and stayed up all night, slept all day and so on for a week. Withdrawals, crying, not eating at all, bad experience.
