> > > As we wrote in other post's... read them. Try some MDMA, that will really get the seritonine going... In my opinion, anybody can go to any doctor, and be "diagnosed" with almost any illness. I know for a fact I'm depressed, but the crap is working for me. Check the other posts, every-one is different. Anyone with intellegence, other than spelling, can pretty musch research and fake anything. My one guy that helped me years ago get off illegal drugs, faked appendicitus, to get morphie. It worked, but after the doctor knew. He's got his organ in a jar as the last reminderr. Point being, anyone can fake it. My sisters father/sister in law, whom ar pharmisists, one with PHd, both say nothing but positives of the drug. That's cause it works for a LOT of people. Sorry, I wasn't going to write again. Good-Bye all, and I do wish you luck.

> > > > You know, I had a wonderful post but wasn't registered and apparently lost it in that process. I am very upset by that because it was good and took a very long time for all the process. Suffice it to say that I have many side effects of this EffexorXR, and it has only been the last 2 days that I have figured out those side effects are from this drug! It is not a mindset. I thought there were other reasons, but the skin rash finally made me look for other answers. I am a mess because of this drug, I am weaning myself off of it! I don't deny that it got me out of my deep depression last Dec., but I had to raise the dose to 300mg.to have it work. Now the myoclonus, weight gain,sleep disturbances, joint and muscle pain, including TOS,plus more have been answered for me, for many here have had these and more problems. I will use other means for serotonin support, I know of a couple things that will work. Write me if you wish!

> > >I have no idea what MDMA is. Would somebody please tell me??? Also, regarding alternatives to these man made chemicals, there are natural alternatives that are better than some. I happen to know that because I am with a company that manufactures standardized herbals and nutritionals. The particular one I am thinking about is to stop food cravings by satisfying the brain with neuronutrients to support proper brain chemistry. The scientist who developed this calls it the "reward cascade". It is patented, and it works to help a person not crave carbohydrates or food in general. I don't know if it would work to help me get off of the effexor, or if I can take it in place of eff. I need to contact the biochemist at the company to see if this is something I can do first. I hope to be able to and will let you know if it would be a viable alternative.
> Their herbal blend for depression has a proprietary set of ingredients, it isn't just St. John's Wort. I do know that it helps my son who is 22 and has Down Syndrome. We tried him on Zoloft and inside of 2 weeks he was grinding his teeth!! I researched and found that to be a side effect, and we tried it for the 1 month only, slowly weaning him off. I am so glad that I didn't continue him on any other ssri's. He surely doesn't need to end up like his mother at this point! Hurting all the time and no motivation whatsoever...
> Did you see that Serafem is really Prozac re-named?? Now they want women w/PMS to take Prozac!! I guess their patent ran out, and they are remarketing this drug in another vein to gain another umpteen-million more users. And Time magazine is doing a HUGE right-up on Paxil. I started w/that and dr. switched me to effexor cuz she thought I would lose weight on it. I gained steadily, and have never weighed this much in my life! I hate drug companies! All they seem to care about is the almighty dollar!Marlane,
Haleluiah, sister. Let us know what you find on the natural side, I am currently in touch with some people in Germany, to see what their take is on it, since they care about their population, not just the almighty BUCK!
I went 5 days with no Effexor after weaning for 2 months, 2 ER visits in tht time, but I was too bad and now I went back on about 7 mg. That is how potent this drug is.
