>Yeah getting off this stuff is terrible. I have been trying for a long time to get off anti-depressants permanently. But I always end up back on some new form of AD trying to cope with getting off the old AD meds. Its a never ending cycle. But, I have also been losing my hair and my joints still won't stop hurting. I had an MRI done and the drs told me I am losing cartlage in my joints. But it is still unknown why. The dr I have been going to (its a chiropractor) has never seen this in such a young person. I think I am going to go to my regular dr and ask if it could be some weird effect of Effexor. I have also officially stopped taking my diet pills. And yeah I am gaining at least 1-2 lbs every few weeks, its terrible.
