Effexor made me want to drink, smoke, and eat lots of candy. I started smoking in November, right around the time I changed my dose. It was as if I hated the way "normal" felt so I used cigarettes and alcohol to take a break from myself. Also I used to drive to the store at like 10:30 at night to get a bag of candy, which I would eat continuously until it was finished. It was almost scary. Last week I quit taking my Effexor altogether and, along with the awful withdrawal, I quit smoking. No longer do I want cigs and even when I have one it has no effect at all. That's how I ended up here.
