> hi Kim
Hello Zinya!
> so how would you characterize the primary positive effects (I gather from what you say that one of them would be feeling like it keeps you from alcohol?? is that mostly from feeling less depressed? It sounds like you're not feeling less anxiety? or is that relative to previously less too?)
>
The best thing about Effexor is that it manages my overwhelming anxiety. The physical jitters aren't a big deal to me, I've had them all my life, OFF of Effexor. Effexor silences the self-doubts that ambush me. I don't hold my head at night anymore, unable to sleep, because the turmoil in my mind won't shut up. And Effexor keeps the repressed anger in me from blowing up at the people I care about. It is still very much more beneficial than the SE's are detrimental.> gosh, i empathize with your side effects. I do have the constipation, although it's been a lifelong tendency for me and i'm not sure how much it's gotten worse... At about level 37 or 75, i wound up buying some of those fiber tabs though actually i think i prefer prunes but never have found an ideal "solution"...

I'm about to run to the store and buy a variety of anti-constipation aids. LOL> Let me know how you progress through the week and i'll be crossing my fingers for early "fade out" of these side effects!

I'll keep in touch. Haven't been feeling well at all lately, but that could be my allergies.
