For the record, I had no problems when I began to take the drug either. None at all. Do you think that I would have continued to take it if I had? It gave me that little extra bit of energy that I needed at the time. I didn't know that my thyroid was low, and it seemed like a terribly helpful drug to me, too. And even I started with only 37.5 mg. And I only took 75 mg. for the longest time. In the last two years I took 150 because I was in a lot of physical pain and very tired. I thought that adding more Effexor would give me the same relief that I only IMAGINED that it had in the beginning. It is only now that I know that I was wrong. I was completely wrong from the very beginning. Every good thing that I ever thought about the drug was a lie...but I didn't find out until I stopped taking it. Time will bear out the truth of my words. I'm willing to bet that at least 1/4 of the population will experience the same symptoms that I have. Whether you believe me now or not, chances are good that you will be forced to believe me sooner or later. I'm not trying to scare you or anyone else. I'm trying to get you to hear to voice of truth. You can't shut out the truth forever. One way or another it seeps in. I guess you can try to for a while, or you can listen to your all-knowing doctor who tells you to stay offline. Or you may be one of the lucky ones -- I wish that I were -- like the Clint person who manages to get away without any problems.
Just think for a minute: A doctor is actually telling you to take a drug that you have to tear apart and take only some of the little pills inside it at a time. Does that sound like good medicine? I have never, ever heard of this before in my life.
