Thanks for your responses ladies. I have decided (after 1 pill) to stop taking Effexor. I don't like how it made me feel, although, I'm told it is normal to feel this way when you first start it. And, after reading all the stuff about getting off of it, it freaked me out. I am not a person who takes any meds (thank God I don't need them) so I should have known better than to ask for these I suppose. I would rather feel naturally crappy than a drug induced crappy. (if that makes sense) I'm happy it's worked out well for you ladies though and I suppose if I had given it time it would have worked for me too.

Thanks again,

Mary Jo
