I'm really not looking for another medication. I am done fooling around with psychoactive medications. I never found anything to be beneficial enough to outweigh the side effects, and I am extremely concerned about any permanent cognitive damage that might be done by these meds. I was simply hoping to find out if anyone else experienced the same things that I did when they went off of Effexor, and if they found anything to be helpful in remedying the problems (hopefully not another antidpressant). Thank you for trying, though.
