Also, here's my problem.
I've been on Effexor XR since 2001, and within the past year I seriously have been having issues. Honestly the only reason I take it is to keep from having those HORRID withdrawal symptoms.
In the past year since I have become a nurse, I have been having problems with racing thoughts, mood swings (not major-- just quick bouts with the blues followed by an extreme high with mind racing thoughts). I talked to my mother about it and it turns out that bipolar disorders run in our family.
I always thought that bipolar disorder was ALWAYS extreme highs (mania, grandiosity) to extreme lows-- never mild like mine. Has anyone been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and not had the typical extremes with mood swings?
Let me know, please!Feel free to email me, or post on here (daveuproar@yahoo.com)
Thanks!
