> You are entirely right, we all take these kind of drugs for different reasons. I also believe that Effexor or most drugs for that matter affect people in a variety of ways. BUT if you think this sight is anal then don't participate. I don't know if you are on this drug or if you have come off of Effexor with little or no side effects. If you have had very little or none of the side effects then consider yourself very, very lucky. I think it can be scary just to know that medication is needed just to get yourself through a day, any day. But then to finally feel strong enough to go off the drug and experience any number of these horrible side effects, it makes you wonder if you really are crazy. It is a very dismal thought to find what you thought was helping you could have been debilitating to you instead. Don't be so condescending until you have walked a mile in any one of these peoples' shoes.

I have taken things that have made me feel a lot STRANGER than Effexor. Besides, everyone is different. We cannot all benefit from the same medication, because not only are we all different, we are all taking it for different reasons! If I don't like it, I will simply stop taking it, heaven forbid. That's all,

I was actually addressing McGuyver, but thanks for responding anyway! You have some very good points! I appreciate you reading my post so thoroughly and carefully. Sounds like you have some things to work out. Good luck to you! In the meantime, I think I will go walk a mile or two in other people's shoes, and then I might come back. If I still feel like you are anal, I will be sure to let you know.
Thanks again,
Noddie
