In reply to Have you tried Effexor??? » sgoose, posted by Colleen D. on August 3, 2004, at 13:44:09
Haven't tried Effexor.. One reason is that I failed all of the SSRI trials in the past, but the Number One reason I haven't asked for Effexor is the horror stories I've heard about the withdrawals. Also, none of my Dr's have ever suggested it. I would consider it if it really helps so much with pain because the pain is flat out ruining my life.
Thanks!

> My chronic pain, including migraines, sciatica and other joint pain, has disappeared since I started taking it this past May. It has also done wonders for my depression and GAD, and has improved my OCD somewhat. I DO have insomnia, but I'll be addressing that with my doc at my next appt. as over-the-counter sedatives and supplements haven't helped much. Good luck!
