Tea time symptoms and conditions

the nausea was immediate, and I assumed that was the only side effect. Mind you my first 24-48 hours I started to feel so depressed about life and at night wanted a black hole to swallow me up. Eventually I was filled with panic and dread, never once questioning where this came from because hey, isn't life difficult sometimes? Eventually I went totally psycho on my boyfriend, who is coincidentally on the verge of ending the relationship because he is suddenly not sure if it was the pill or me. When I realized my misery coincided with the exact time line of taking the pill, I looked up side effects online and felt such a wave of relief. Mind you, when I called my doctor's office on a Saturday morning for a switch they wanted me to go to an ER because they didn't want to be liable if I killed myself (the doctor said she never heard of such a side effect in any of her patients - do not let your doctor talk down to you just because her patient pool doesn't do tea time with her). I haven't taken the pill in two days and the nausea is gone and the only sadness I feel is the deep realization of how awful I felt. It's working its way throughout my body, and now I just hope my boyfriend finds the compassion to not hate me for going nuts on me. So when you all right how wonderful your men have been...I'm a wee bit jealous.

My 7yr old daughter was put on this med becasue of a UTI. she took it for six and a half days, while on this med it took 5 day for the infection to go away, on the seventh day sick got sick at school was running a temp of 102.2 I took her back to the Dr. because to had a small red rash on her face by the time we got to the office it was all over her body. We saw the Dr. first thing in the morning by tea time her whole body was covered and I was told the headaches, vomiting. and temp was a virus but after I read everyones information I can see that the fever, headaches and vomiting was due to this med. I can't believe that I was not told about the side effects of this med.

Hello everyone :)
I have been taking slow release 75 mg for first 8 weeks and now take 150 mg slow release (past 4 weeks).
When I first started this medication I felt very tired and lazy at about tea time. I also take amitryptiline, 10 mg each night.
My physical problems are:
Have bad headaches and very painful neck (may be due to an incident at work where I was knocked unconsious 3 years ago)
More recently had a total abdominal hysterectomy and bso (removal of both ovaries).
Surgical menopause is a killer.
Doc has tried all sorts of pain killers. I now take dihydrocodiene (sp) 1 x 30 mg up to four times a day.
All this medication, plus the mountain of supplements, calcium, vit e, b, natural menopause supplements, epa fish oil, garlic oil and ginko biloba, makes is impossible to figure out why I still feel so bad. I feel more emotional since beginning treatment of effexor. Strange. Maybe if you were not clinically depressed in the first instance, taking these make you! Good for the pharmacuetical (sp) company who makes 'em.
I have an appointment tomorrow to review my progress (or deterioration!) tomorrow.
When I tell him of things I have learned from the internet, he looks at me as if I am an idiot! (Like how can I know more than him, must be rubbish!)
I now want to stop taking them. The only good thing about them, if it's them causing it, is my lack of appetite. Weird though, as I haven't lost any weight!
Any kind of advice would be appreciated.
I am a full time working mum with six kids. Life is hard enough without more things to deal with.

Thanks in advance.
