Hi, What is the dose of Effexor-XR you are starting at? I'm on it also. It also helps with headaches in some. If brain aneurysms run very close in your family, have you talked to your doc about Mood Stabilizaers? Topomax, for one, is proving to work on migraines, and a lot of the seizure meds are being used in Bipolar (Lamictal) I remember when I went off the Lamictal the first time, I got debilataing headaches-I mean they were bad! When I went back on the Lamictal-I never get them now.
I wish you the best:-)and hang in!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you so much for answering my post... I've felt so very alone. I did go to the doctor and she has given me effexor XR I'll start tomorrow... I have a horrible headache but all she said was take aleve... I guess she has forgotten already that brain anyerysms run very close in my family...my mother and her father both died of them my mom when she was 39. Her sister has just found out she has two double ones... I had a therapist but I missed an appt. and when I called the next day I talked to the receptionist and explained and she took my number and said she'd have her call me back... no one has. It doesn't matter though because I felt like nothin was getting accomplished anyhow...
I hope your days are going well.
