> First of all, you are only a pill popper if you are recklessly "popping" drugs. I do not consider anyone, who for health reasons needs a certain drug, a pill popper. Second, the racy feeling you described along side not being able to sleep is very common. The Effexor is a Seratonin and Norepinepherine reuptake inhibitor. In lay terms, it prevents the absorption of those two neurotransmitters. This is good for those that are depressed because clinical depression can stem from hyperabsorption of seratonin into the central nervous system. The Norepinepherine is a stimulant for many things in the body. You might experience muscle twitches and definitely yawning. Almost like you are taking an allergy medication. I felt that the side effects from Effexor were too much for me, but you may feel different. There is really no way to tell if a drug will work for you or not unless you try it first. If you find that the side effects are telling you something, such as STOP TAKING ME, then call your doctor. But, if you can live through them for a while, then keep trying. You will find here that everyone has different stories to tell about Effexor. But, your body may react completely different. Just listen to your brain and your body and you will be fine.
I HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR A WEEK AND VERY LITTLE SIDE EFFECTS HATED PAXIL BUT I WAS DRINKING ON IT BUT I COULD NOT CUM ON PAXIL SO FAR NOT A PROBLEM ON EFFEXOR XR MY SEX DRIVE HASNT SUFFERED EITHER MY DESIRE TO DRINK ISNT THEIR EITHER LIKE THEY SAY WORKS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE
