I saw all the horror stories about Effexor before even starting, and while they scared me, I decided to give it a go- I figured life couldn't get much worse than it was already.
The first couple of days were pretty bad- my mood markedly lifted but I was confused- disoriented, nauseous & spaced out.
After the 3rd day, though, I started getting less confused, and most amazingly- my mood lifted! I felt, while not fantastic, like life was bearable and even worthwhile.
Sure, it's hell to come off. And for some people, the side effects are terrible. But for me, so far at least, it has made my life worth living.
