I'm sorry it didn't happen for you this time Dorrie, but I'm sure it will happen. You know that every single one of us will be with you when you give it that next try.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your post to me explaining the problems you've had with this medication. Had I not posted on the site that I was about to start taking them, I'd not have heard about all these issues that others have with these pills.

I've not even opened the box that my doctor ordered for me but I told her that I'd decided not to take them because I was concerned about the side effects. She told me that people don't have side effects, nor do they have problems coming off Effexor!

I don't believe I need them now anyway but if I thought I did, I'd be asking her to prescribe something different.

Sending you hugs and letting you know that we understand!
