I am not looking forward to the time when I have to give Effexor up, hopefully it's a long time away. Every drug has side effects and/or withdrawl problems.
1. Giving up Prozac was a piece of cake, but all it did for me was give me extreme agitation & a total inability to sleep.
2. TCA's are supposed to be great if you can stand the side effects. I haven't tried them (yet) but they are supposed to be easy to withdrawl from.
3. MAOI's may be the best drug for most problems, but you have to watch what you eat & what other drugs you take every single day which in itself would be a bummer.There is no such thing as a free lunch as far as drugs are concerned.
I am happy with Effexor mostly because he hasn't given me many other problems, mostly I feel like a happier version of the old me. :)
Cheers,
Panda.
