Hey Michael thanks. I'm here for you too. Weight gain is a bugger, my poor legs can hardly stand the strain. And I have a tight chest. Do you have any of these things?
I still cry a lot, sometimes for no apparent reason, often without even feeling sad. I think this may be because Effexor dammed it up and now my feelings, good and bad are unblocked. My ability to talk in an authoritative tone amazes me, compared to the wimp I was. There is a lot of people, esp bureaucrats, out there who talk rubbish and carry out social experiments on us and I won't stand for it any more.If I tell people my honest opinion, they are perfectly free to argue back, so where's the problem? I also mentioned being pro-social didn't I?
One thing worries me. How can the body tell the difference between side effects and the intended AD effect? If the side effects fade with time, then so will the AD effect. I hope this isn't true.
I told you about the weight gain from Nardil. But did I say that my blood sugar has come down. This is great news for me, a diabetic. There are also stories of blood pressure lowering. So perhaps I can chuck out all my pills! uh apart from Nardil. However I read somewhere that Metformin, which my Dr was considering giving me for hyperglycaemia, is also said to eradicate Nardil weight gain. Now my blood sugar has returned to normal, it looks unlikely that my Dr will take this route.
So how about you? What effects/side effects are you having?
regards
Fred
