I have been taking Effexor for about a month and a half now and I love it. Things were so awful before I started it. My doctor explained all this to me before I started taking it and said it was a hard drug to tolerate for some but for most it is extremely helpful. There are side effects to ALL MEDICATIONS even tylenol people. So seriously consider what you are about to put into your body. I was never one to take medications before thought I could talk myself out of the depression anxiety attacks , there comes a point where you cant. Good luck you all of you .

I totally agree. Effexor is a wonder drug! Nothing short of a miracle for myself and three sisters. We are all predisposed to depression/anxiety. My mom was hospitalized many times for it and my dad had many issues with chemical imbalances in his body. One sister was on meds for bipolar disorder. They reeked havoc on her body and daily disposition. She was finally switched to Effexor and now she is sooooo much happier and optimistic. She actually acts like a "normal" person now. :-) Thanks for sharing your experience!
