> I'm really beginning to wonder if I really need to have these meds. Yes, my depression and anxiety are a little better(and I mean little) but I'm in the worst shape of my life. I used to multitask, now It takes a major act of will to trudge through one thing. It's hard to keep my balance sometimes. my coordination sucks, I feel weak all the time. I get shivers and electrical-like shocks. I'm also incredibly irate.

Obviously they are not working...you need to find a better med or med combo. Effexor isn't much of an AD IMO.When meds arent working there is no reason to be on them. They should produce a great therapeutic response to justify their continued use.
And people can find this- there a tonnes of drugs and combos out there. It is just that Pdoc and patients too settle far to often with partial responses.
