C.C,
I would recommend you read about Effexor on a website called crazy meds. It looks like this med has a real bad withdrawl syndrome when trying to come of it. As well as some bad side effects that I did not know about. I would definately check out what people are saying about this med on that website.
I don't know why the doctors keep trying to treat us with psychiatric medication. I absolutely refuse them after trying so many for chronic pain and having horrible results. Just an F.Y.I.
