> Thanks Karen! I know about the dizziness. At some points I feel like I did the time my aunt accidentally gave me 4x as much cough medicine as she should have when I was about 6 yrs old. I went from side to side down the hall - first bumping into one wall, then the other. Too funny!

> I finally gave in & took a day off from work today & shared with my boss what was going on. I hadn't even told him about what I was experiencing. I guess there was a shame issue going on. Has anyone else experienced that when trying to explain everything to folks in your life? Just curious!All of my friends and colleagues knew I took Effexor (300mg/day). I never made it a secret seeing that I am bipolar, which only needed treatment due to bad marriage and bad job (both fixed now). Even though self-employed I do need to inform people of why I'm not in the office. Everyone is very very supportive. I can nor could ever be ashamed of something that is not my fault.
