The not crying on Effexor was something I did not realize until I got off. There were side affects but the drug did its job. My problem was that as long as I was happy and feeling level I never worked on the issues that caused my depression in the first place. I came off meds after 15 years and found out I like me. I do get upset easy but that was one of the reasons I got depressed in the first place. The meds keep it under control but did not cure it. When the meds were gone it was still there but so am I. If need be the meds are still part of my coping tools but for right now I want to see if I have learned anything from my journey. My kids say they liked me better on meds I did not get upset as easy. Maybe but Daddy's home and feeling GOODDDDDDDDDDD!
