effexor scares me

i just started taking effexor (35.7mg and then i will take 75mg daily) a few days ago and i'm so nauseous that i can barely leave my bed. i also just read posts about withdrawl and they scare me. i have never taken any medication before and had a lot of reservations for a long time, then decided that the depression and anxiety weren't going away on their own and that i needed to try something new.

my fear is that i will be taking medication for the rest of my life! everyone who has posted seems to have been on medication for a long time, or they are on a lot of different meds at once. i just started college. i have a lot of life ahead of me and i can't afford (financially and figuratively) to be on meds for all of it. does anyone have any input or advice? should i stop taking it and continue trying to get over the depression on my own?
