Thanks IsoM for the info.

Yes, I have my thyroid functions checked every year because my Mom had that problem (haD = now her thyroid is gone!), and since I have depression, it's always a question - is it really depression or is it hormonal?

I don't think I lose my hair because I don't find any anywhere. It seems like it's the diameter of it that's smaller. I now see my scalp above my forehead and it never happened before. In any case, I'll talk to my doc about it.

About proteins: I really don't eat enough. I saw a dietician last week for weight loss, and the first thing that's wrong in my diet is that I don't eat enough protein. So now I'm on tofu shakes for b-fast. Especially since I'm getting braces soon, better get used to a soft or even liquid diet! She also said to add water (2 liters per day!!! I am not sure I can manage that without actually living in the bathroom!). I'll look into the B complex vitamins too... although it did give me headaches before. But I was not on an AD then, so it may be different this time. Thanks again for the info.

I also have very dark circles around my eyes, which I never had before. But that's easily dealt with a little makeup. The hair is more tricky! I feel like Effexor XR is good in many ways, but in some ways, it's wearing me out.
