I too just started taking Effexor today after complaining to my Pain Management Dr. that I was feeling anxious, and hated everyone and everything equally!
I too have spent about the last 6 yrs off and on different types of meds and anti depressants. I too was diagnosed manic-depressive when I wasn't. I just was depressed and had too much caffeine at the same time. I was given Lithium and stared at the wall and didn't give a damn about anything going on around me. My kids and husband noticed that I was just existing and they worried about me. In the mornings I would just sit and stare, I was sleepy and just really out of it. I hated that stuff!
I was in a car accident which has caused me chronic back pain, following two surgeries, and that in itself would tend to make someone a little depressed and really pissed off!
Anyway, I'm hoping that this Effexor is the answer. It took it a few hours ago, and quite frankly I feel perked up and not so anxious!
