Hi; I'm into my tenth week of Effexor therapy and I am quite pleased with the results. My mind has stopped racing, I have stopped snapping at people, i no longer dwell on unpleasant thoughts for hours at a time. I'm actually happy for the first time in I don't know how long. The sexual side effects associated with this medication stopped being a problem about two weeks ago. the only side effect I have is a cold sweat from time to time. This is usually made worse by people asking "why are you sweating". Having said that, I am happy with the progress I am making. The stories you have read horrified me too. But I am hoping for the best. Good luck.
