Blazer,
I'm figuring out that some of the people on this sight are making way too much of this drug. For the first week or two I felt weird but now i'm just fine. I've got better things to do than sit around and worry. I smoke, used to drink a lot, and used to do a lot of other nasty things to my body, that last thing I'm worried about is effexor. People here are overanalizing it, and making thier own problems in their heads. I'm not one to believe in better living through chemistry, but in this case I couldn't go on without taking something. It seems to be working fine. I'm sure the withdrawl symptoms are no worse than the ones I've gone through with other substances. And I did that cold turkey with no medical supervision. Along with finding some good people to talk to. I guess the point I'm getting to is take anything these people say with a grain of salt, It might work for you, it might not. Just like anything else. Keep yourself busy, and let what happens happen. Trust me, the side effect are no worse than what thousands of others go throug every day without even realizing. Side effects shmide effects. Yeah so what you feel strange few days. Anyway Blazer, let me know what happens, maybe we can trade addresses. Again, don't believe everything your read. I don't know if your in the US or not, but media controlls everything. People just sit their and nod thier heads at whatever the newspeople say or right. Think for yourself, and maybe you won't feel all these effects.

P.S. As you can tell by my angry demeaner, I'm getting back to normal. It's bright outside, and I'm enjoying my day!
