Hi all -- I'd been on Effexor for about two years, for depression (switched from Prozac because I felt it made me too laid-back) -- and was doing pretty well until I started taking birth control pills in December (Ortho Tricyclen). Then it was like the earth's axis suddenly shifted and I became super-sensitive. Now I seem to turn into a sodden weepy mess or a screaming shrew at the drop of a hat. I'd never been affected this way by birth control pills before -- but I hadn't been on Effexor the last time I was on "the pill" either. Anyone had any experience with this? I hate myself this way. I'm thinking of asking my doctor if I can go back on Prozac. I'm hoping it's the medication and not just me!!
