Hey Jim,
There have been a lot of horror stories about effexor withdrawl around here. I don't have any personal experience, but you may want to search for it. This stuff gets so complicated when you don't know if you're experiencing withdrawl from the previous drug or side effects from the new drug.
There is this protein shake thing that really physically active people use called Myoplex. I lost a lot of weight and nutrition before I started lex so, in addition to the side effects, I was probably malnourished, which does not help the mental stuff anymore than sleep deprivation. You can pick myoplex up at health food stores in several flavors and it is fairly easy to get and keep down. It is good that you are trying to eat - if you're not physically healthy, no drug is going to be much help.
Keep eating ;)
-Lex
