i am deeply sorry to hear about your loss...
how long had your son been taking effexor for?
i too think that these side effects are real...i am wondering though if this is something that goes away over time...both times i started taking lexapro i noticed for the first couple of months i would get very scary thoughts and feelings that i did not normally have even when depressed...but after about 8 weeks they became less intense and then eventually disappeared..
effexor is a powerful drug...my therapist told me its usually the med of last resort due to the bad withdrawal effects it has..
