This is my second round with Effexor XR. The first round was a breeze compared to this one. The first round the doctor started me on 37.5. This round the doctor, different doctor, started me on 75 mg. This time after the second of only two doses at 75 mg. I started feeling as if I had a major case of the flu. Began trembling, having difficulty sleeping and prespiring nearly all the time, while at the same time I felt cold all over. I have not been productive at all around our place My wife has had to take care of me, work and feed our animals.We raise registered Mini-Donkeys.
If I ever get over this Effexor XR the next time I'm feeling depressed I think that I'll just get in my truck and drive across Texas until I strike sunshine. I certainly don't think this drug is worth the side effects. I owe it to my wife not to ever take this stuff again.
Sorry about this being so long, but I wanted to share my experience. This is Monday evening and the longest time I've not been in bed or layed back in a recliner since this past Thursday evening. As a former RN in the Psych field, I've never seen a drug with more unpleasent side effects, which effects so many body systems.
My latest quest is to find one of those Sun VU lamps that furnishes natural sunlight. I have a natural light 20W bulb in the lamp beside my chair, but I'm not sure that's enough. Anyone know where I can get one of those Sun VU lamps
Take care and be careful of this stuff.Doc :- 2/7/05
