thats my point.. stop now if you can.. Ask to be swithced to a different anti depressant. there are lots out there. No one is invalidating your need for medication, but effexor is a scary drug when you want to stop. also, don't let your doctor dissmiss your feelings about effexor. mine did and ended up increasing my dosage. I was on it two weeks when i FINALLY had the balls to say say "no, this isn't what I wanted." prozac worked well for me a few years ago, also lots of people have had success with welbrutrin. make an appointment now and save yourself a horrible time in the future. Effexor did work well for my anxiety and depression, it was everything that came along with it that I couldn't handle. your treasing on thin ice. god bless -becci
