I have been on Effexor XR for over a year now and at first it was helping my depression and compulsive disorder but for the past 5 months I have been having really bad memory loss, confusion, extreme headaches that wont go away and wont let me do anything.....I have also gained 65 pounds and my head feels like it is in a cloud and I have no idea what is going on around me....I am totally adrift. It has also made me like grow a beard and side burns and I am an 18 year old chick.so that is terrible....I have hillucinations I cant stop seeing things come after me and I have terrible nightmares...I had horrible chest pain non stop crying.....diahrea shortness of breathe just every side effect that was bad was what I had.....I have been off of it for a week now and it has been so terrible my school wanted to take me away in handcuffs or in a straight jacket and I was on a strict watch from everyone in my school this drug is horrible and I think no one should ever take it......It has made my life terrible and it has tken away my joy memory and good grades.....I cant learn now in school and I get terrible grades and before taking this drug I was a straight A student.....and I found out that this is more of a mans drug too so I am all screwed up now and I owe it all too Effexor...NEVER TAKE THIS EFFEXOR
