> Hi Jennifer, I switched to Effexor not too long ago, about 1 1/2 weeks now, and I have had no side effects or weight gain so far. The first day I felt drowsy, then it went away by the next day. I was afraid to try it, too, I had been on Serzone and I was doubtful that anything would help me, only make me sick. But I took it, and I have been feeling quite good, and I've only just begun. I know you are hesitant to try something other than what you are used to, but I've heard so many people complaining about Paxil, so it's really up to you whether or not you want to try something different. Listen, if Paxil is working for you, I think you should stick with it. Perhaps you can lower your dose a bit and you won't have the sexual side effects. Good luck!

But maybe the effexor will work for you, because I am usually the opposite. Do AD's help any of your other fibro symptoms?
