Scott - Thanks for the reply. I never took anything other than Zoloft until now. I'm just starting Effexor 75 mg and I plan to do some extensive research on it's side effects....

As uncomfortable as it was, I can hardly imagine what it must be like to experience a more severe reaction. I know one other person who tried to self-medicate with alcohol when a moderate akathisia evolved from her taking Risperdal.
