ckc,
I do hope you feel better soon!! I'm beginning to understand what's going on with Effexor if only because I've been studying it now for a while. I think it's possible that if you are missing certain things in your body that are making you depressed, Effexor won't be as hard on your system, physically, as it will be on people who take it without needing to take it for a physical as opposed to an emotional reason.
Does this make any sense? I'll post a link for you that I found to help you with some of your decisions down the line. It may not be the wrong drug for everyone, but it is absolutely the wrong drug for some people, and it would sure help it doctors didn't prescribe it to those of us that shouldn't be taking it in the first place. Even then, keeping the dosage as low as possible seems to be the way to go.
Best of luck to you in everything, and I wish you tons and tons of happiness!!!
