Jay - glad your feeling better - who cares why, its unlikely to be the effexor yet, probably a 'placebo-like' effect. Though dont underestimate the power of effexor - despite its awful withdrawl profile, it is still clinically superior to most other AD's out there - just check the clinical sites. Also, people underestimate the power of the mind('placebo effect') in controlling the body - there was one study of cancer patients who were told that with the drug they were trying(it was a clinical trial) there was a strong chance they would lose their hair. Well 75% of the people taking the drug did indeed lose their hair, but the amazing thing was 30-40% of those taking a placebo also lost their hair - just because they THOUGHT they were going to.
Makes you think.
Good luck with the effexor.
