Yesterday I took my fist capsule of Effexor. I was prescribed it by my doctor as I've been going through a lot of stress, issues with a dying mother, new job, etc. I was having chest pains (Far upper left, near shoulder) So I got some samples.
I took one, with food at about 10:30 AM, 2 hours later I started feeling like I was tweeking! Sketched out, jittery, cant focus, jumpy, headache. I'm like.. "THe cure is worse that the disease!" Didn't sleep at all last night, tremors, brain/thoughs spinning around in a tight buzzing circle. Today I feel like 100lbs of crushed buttholes.
I don't think I need to be taking this stuff. I'm sure the sympoms decrease over time, but I can't afford to be tweeking like this ona new job.
I thought this crap was supposed to REDUCE nervousness? WTF?
I'll be calling the doctor tommorow, but he can have this crap back.
I think I may have to go with my old standby: my weightbench, a nice beer afterwards and a long walk.
THoughts, experiences welcome...
