I too am "not myself these days" after being on Effexor for several months. I just feel rotten, both physically and emotionally. Don't want to get out of bed in the mornings, irritable, etc. I've tried so many different drugs but this is not the one. Guess I'm at square one again. Going to see my doc to go off and maybe try something else. DREAD going thru the withdrawal symptoms though. I've missed a dose or two and got a taste of what the withdrawal is going to be like. They should warn you about that BEFORE you go on a drug.
> Hi, I just wanted to thank everyone that is on this site! Now at less I know that I am not alone. I have been taking Effexor XR 225mg a day for about 6 months now, and I don't think that this is the right Med. for me... :( I don't feel like myself.
