I started taking Effexor in the beginning of March and was upped to 175 mg/day in the beginning of April. All I have to say is WOW!!! I feel like a completely new person! I had many people telling me not to go on this med and to tell ya the truth I think that I made a great choice for myself! I closed myself in for a little over 7 years and now I am coming back out of my shell.
I have read alot about weight gain and such but I haven't had a problem with that. I have actually been losing and I am eating!
I made the mistake of forgetting to take my pills 2 days ago. I will NEVER do that again!! OMG! I don't even think I can put into words how I felt. I am however still having some trouble sleeping. My Dr recently percribed me Oxazepam to help with that. Has anyone else taken it? I am praying I find something that'll help!!
I found for the first 2 months being on Effexor I had a major drop in my sexual drive (poor hubby), but am slowly regaining it.
I just want to tell all the newbies out there that this drug can work! So far this is the only one that I have found that does.....for me anyways.
