I have tried every anti-depressant on the market starting as far back as the early 80s. Recently, my shrink decided to switch me from Prozac (and Remeron) to Effexor. I have always had problems with exagerated side effects from anti-depressants and Effexor is no different. Although I am on a VERY low dose (12.5 mg per day) - that's 1/2 the lowest dose, I am experiencing nausa, disorientation and insomnia. I have been on effexor approx. 2 weeks. I feel like hell and am not sure where to turn. Prozac helps me for a while (at 10 mg. a day), but I always end up having to go off it because of hand tremors. Does anyone have any suggestions for an anti-depressant with minimal side-effects? Remeron helps, but I've gained 30 pounds.
