Don't forget that every med. seems to work quite differently for a lot of us. I know that reading to much, ie Psycho Babble overload, can scare you from probably aspirin. I actually quit Effexor, about two years ago, mainly because of reading of the potential scary side effects and withdrawl issues. Yes, my cholesterol went way up, but I dealt with it with Omega 3 and Niacin and I had no problems getting off Effexor as I weaned myself off, even taking the capsule open and dumping out a certain amount of the little capsules inside.........Effexor is not for everyone. I am thinking about starting it again along with ECT, as I have battle the darkness for way to long and been through almost all the newer meds. along with the side effects or no benefit..
food for thought......Paxil and Zoloft almost killed me....others have done well.......go figure???
