In reply to getting a little worried here...., posted by tlang on January 29, 2003, at 22:58:53
Like you, I sought advice from these postings BEFORE I started on Effexor. I carefully weighed the pros and cons and decided to give the med a try. I have posted several times in the 3 or so months since I started and have had nothing but positive experiences while on Effexor.
Something to keep in mind when reading these posts...
It may be human nature to seek help ONLY when concerned that something may be wrong. With this being the case, it's very likely that the majority of those posting are looking for assistance with frightening and confusing symptoms and side-effects or feel the responsibility to alert others regarding these unpleasantries. However, folks who are doing WELL may not ever feel the need to search for help.Please understand this is only an assumption on my part; I have no data or proof to back up my statement.
If you have started the medication, stay with us and keep us posted on your progress. It is always possible to change medications to find what's right for you. Then again, you may find that medication is not right for you at all and therapy may be your answer. Whatever your situation there are lots of us here who can help you out. Be that from our own experiences or with sound, specific advice about where you can get the help you need.
Good luck to you!
Thanks to all for their help and concern.
