Well, Paxil made me "mean as hell". Changed my life and not in a good way. Craved alcohol and drank to excess. My Drs. (including therapist) at the time told me that I had a problem with alcohol. (Not before! Not now!) I have since changed Drs., therapist and drug. Effexor seems to be working for me. I have been on it for almost 2 months now. I, too, craved smoking and I am not a smoker or have been (!). Weird. So Carolina, I can relate. I try to take my meds at the same time everyday, so don't know about the other symptoms. So far, so good for me. I will keep you posted. And, thanks, I DO have a heart!
