You are right. I would not expect sibutramine to be any different from Effexor in this regard. However, I did not expect the drug to make me feel markedly worse. I just don't have the fortitude at this juncture to subject myself to any more of that. I just got done spending weeks feeling worse because of Wellbutrin. I know I can't afford to leave any stone left unturned. However, I think stopping the sibutramine was the right thing to do. I was reacting quite badly to it.
Thanks for your interest.
