Hi Over,
Just so you know, I sweat like a -- well, let's just say it wasn't pretty -- when I exercised during the time that I was taking Effexor...and miraculously, it stopped when I quit taking it.
Also, in case anyone is having annoying stomach issues, those also went away when I stopped taking Effexor, though they were replaced with colitis that lasted a good year and a half after I stopped taking it.
After what I went through, I'd like to see the drug removed from the shelves entirely so that no one else is harmed by it. It does so many things that if you don't know better, you can easily attribute to getting older, but it's not that, really, it's not. In my case, at least, in every single situation, it was a side effect of Effexor or of having taken it and stopped taking any SSRI/SNRI to replace it. I wouldn't go near those drugs if my life depended on it...and believe me, for at least 1 1/2 years, it nearly did. It's not easy to leave those drugs behind. They are harder to stop taking entirely than just about anything on earth.
