> well lets be positive and start with my good :-) ok? lol

> My good were it made me feel better, I started eating and I was lifted out of depression. YAY! BUT I had to switch to the differnet type of effexor because of stomach upset...I wish I culd remember how it worked...is there an extended release?? that is what I had to get on I think...cause I felt really sick. And Im not a morning eater either and you do have to adjust for that....try something small.

> BUT my bad...were that I couldnt ever miss a dose without expereincing really bad brain jolts....thought I was having seizures. For me that was scary, but it took along time for me to connect the two. I was not comfortable takin ga drug that did that....too weird. Secondly getting off it was horrible...took a couple tries and I had to endure a little bit of a black hole feeling and those brain zappies were AWFUL. But in retrospect...it lifted me out of a rut and even though it was hard to get off I didnt go down nearly as far.

thanks for the advice i really appreciate it my doc wanted to put me on wellbutrin but wants to try this first and see how it works for me i dont know damn i just need a freakin mood stabilizer thats it how long were you on it before it started giving you the brain zaps when you missed a dose??thanks again
