Effexor is interesting that is for sure. My buddy had the same thoughts as you did. Sleep disturbance is a worry for me though. I wonder if that gets better over time? Weight gain is not an issue as I am too skinny as it is. I did wake up after about 4 hours last night and was nervous for a time but then slept for about 3 more hours and then ate something at 5:30 and laid back down until 7 or so. Up and down for me that is for sure.
I worked as an English teacher part time and then in a City Hall's international department.
The healthcare system is ok, but if I was you I would check out a university hospital or related and find a pdoc that has been trained abroad. I would even correspond now if you can locate someone. Get a relationship developed now. You can always import your meds as that is what I did in 2001. I got 3 months at a time. If you are in a big city you will be much better off as healthcare is concerned. My favorite part of Japan is probably Osaka area, Kansai. I lived in Koyoto and the people there are more difficult to understand. I speak good Japanese but the people in Kyoto are hard to understand even for the people of Kyoto from what I was told. I didn't care for Kyoto to be honest. The people are much more outgoing and friendlier in Osaka than Tokyo. Osaka-ben is fun too. Excellent food in Osaka! Korean barbecue is the best.
Yes, it is the same character as the "ki" in kibun and genki, but takes on a slight different meaning. Can you workout? If yes, definately find a good quality martial arts school and train if you are up to it. Aikido is a good option too.
Please keep me informed as to what you decide to try for sleep.
Best Regards

PS If you would like to babble mail me and keep in touch that would be fine. I am a little leary of babble mail because of privacy issues but for you that would be just fine since we are similiar in the Japan thing.
