I do think that effexor has lots of positives. And it certainly saved my life last year. I spent a month on tranquilizers with it while it was taking effect. It was so great to have the fog cleared. And when I got up to 225 mg in January I was very energetic and that was absolutely wonderful.
However, I have only tried paxil and effexor. And then was told by my cousin that wellbutrin was virtually side effect-free for her. So thought I'd give it a try. I can always go back on effexor. I am now at the end of the first week of weaning myself off of effexor and on to wellbutrin. Feel a bit rocky and had tingling on the side of my head and on my face. Felt like it could be related. Also feel weak and tired. But also feel more....the numbness on effexor was great in some ways....but too much sometimes.
