Effexor again?

Posted by TopCat on September 3, 2003, at 4:48:14

I quit Effexor XL at the beginning of last year. I was on if for about 8 months when I had anxiety / depression. I had two toddlers to look after and I found it hard. I did find however that I drank quite heavily whilst taking the drug ( I did beforehand and hoped Effexor would help but if anything it seemed to increase my thirst ). I also gained about 20 lbs which I suspect was due to my alcohol intake.

I successfully quit the drug and went on to have twins who are now 9 months old.

I have a drink problem and need a drink to relax at the end of the day (when all the kids are in bed). My children range from 4 years to 9 months.

I feel I need to go back on the tablets as the slightest thing sets me off. I lose my cool very quickly and shout and scream at my kids but mainly my husband. I don’t know how to control my temper and prevent these outbursts.

Does anyone have any advice, I don’t know where to start, I just don’t want to put loads of weight on again as I still haven’t lost any.
