for those of you considering Effexor... it is very effective... but does have some freaky side effects, that can just come out of the blue...
the other thing is ... NEVER got off of it cold turkey... even if you've done it before on others... Effexor is a pretty powerful drug in it's formulation... i had to stop taking it quickly when i found out i was pregnant while taking it... it was HELL. vomiting, shakes, body aches, brain shivers, loss of vision, effects that are hard to describe... that last for like 2 weeks.

i went back on it after my son was born, because it's one of the only medications that actually helps me... but it was pretty scary to have that kind of withdrawl. just make sure you use it wisely.
