I want to thank Dr. Bob for creating this site. I stumbled upon it about 3 weeks ago when I was trying to determine if what I was feeling was medication-related or an illness. Hearing others stories has been invaluable to me. I was beginning to think that my body was suddenly aging and I was feeling the effects of the years of working out on my back and muscles (at age 42). I also thought the sweating and anger tirades were early menopause. I know I am in good health and I couldn't imagine all these changes to my body appearing at once.
I have been on Effexor for about 7 months, and I can see how it is wreaking havoc on me. Reading about other patient's symptoms has given me insight into mine,and provided me with, for lack of a better word, proof when I discuss the medication with my doctor. Sometimes I get the impression he thinks I am a hypochondriac when he says "there have been no reports of those kind of symptoms".
If I knew all the potential side effects I would experience on this drug beforehand, I would have been able to tell sooner if it was right for me and how well I am tolerating it. Instead, I am depressed about my health and feeling lousy every day.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR SHARING THEIR EXPERIENCES AND DR. BOB FOR PROVIDING THIS OUTLET.
