I have been using this drug for about 8 months and have found some of the side effects can be horrible. However i am in the process of separation and im terrified to face this without them. I know i am rather numb and at times just unconnected because of the drug but without them i would be crying constantly and i hated that. I believe i have been depressed for some time and i know for me the benefits of this drug far out way the difficulties of depression! The crying, sleeplessness, inability to get anything accomplished depression sucks. For me i have not gained or lost i am about the same. My therapist tells me to go off them slowly once things settle down i am on 300 mg of them now of which i started on 75mg to start. So i will keep you updated to my progress with getting off them!
I have been on effexor for about 2 years...this is the second time around..the first time I gained so much weight I decided to get off the drug...but you have to get off very slowly..your doctor should prescribe a method to get off this drug...I got off with no problem....I started taking this drug again due to severe panic attacks and this drug seems to do the trick...yes when I skip a day or more I do get that zapping feeling in my head...but that goes away...just remember if you decide to get off the drug just do it very slowly.. Good Luck
