Thanks for the feedback everyone.
Hair falling out not a good side effect. I am I probably will increase the effexor past 150. I think the reason he suggested it is that in addition to the mood swings I have also been having alot of muscle tension. From what I read valporates are sodium channel blockers which might give me some relief from my achyness and muscle tension ( all occuring prior to starting effexor).
Actually they have lessened since effexor but are still present.
The mood swinginess is really annoying it becomes very difficult to do the things I need to do in my day.
Before I let him prescribe it Ill discuss the other options that you guys listed- and im sure hell have some too. Hes a pretty good doc.
