Jennifer,
I'm very sorry to hear about your experience, when things like this happen it REALLY sucks! I was unable to take Effexor also, but it was for different reasons (memory loss, fatigue). We never know how a new med is going to react in us, what works well for some is a nightmare for others. Sometimes it is just a matter of giving the med time to get into our system properly and then the side effects go away. I've been on Prozac now for 5 days and 3 of the 5 nights that I've take it I've woken up during the night very sick to my stomach. My doc has told me this am to stop taking it and that we'll try something different. I would definetly let your doc know what's going on with you ASAP. I hope you get to feeling better soon, my thoughts are with you.Peace,
Greg> I took my first dose of Effexor last night. I did not go to school or work this morning. I can hardly type. It feels like an acid flash back. My doctor told me that only 3% of people taking Effexor reacts this way. He said it made my anxiety worse and he is right. I feel horrible. Nothing is worth all of those side effects. I would rather cry all day than feel this way.
