Since reading some of your comments, I am really concerned this is a horrible drug. I have been on it for a long, long time. I used to bounce up in the morning, greeting each new day with eager anticipation - now I can't get up and can't seem to function when I do drag out of bed. I have fallen asleep at work and while driving and feel like can feel a jerk, or a spark, or a clicking sensation in my head that is hard to describe unless you have experienced it. I now have problems with my thryoid and have become a diabetic, taking medications for both. I have muscle spasms and dancing legs that keep me from going to sleep at night so I have been put on another medication for that. I am really curious at to whether Effexor XR has caused the decline in my health and sense of well being. Anyone else who has developed these medical problems on Effexor?
