As I posted earlier, I don't remember any bad side effects from the effexor, I had already gained weight from the start with my first anti. med. Serzone, which I think is now off the market.
Anyway, I wonder if my using a benzo such as Klonopin or Ativan has helped keep the side effects, the twitches to a minimum. So many of you posting with severe side effects sounds exactly like when I tried Paxil. Again, each effects us differently. I did grow concerned when my cholersterol level increased greatly and someone posted that is was a side effect from Effoxor, so i added Fish Oil, Flax seed oil and Niacin and it brought it down. I am almost a complete vegan and have been for many years. plus I try to exercise everyday. Now it is forcing myself to exercise. But, it does help. I bet my weight would be well over my current weight if I didn't, plus I feel better for the few hours that I exercise, but if fades as the endorphins leave. My psy doc could not answer why they can't create endorphins in the labs...with they could!
