Thanks Kim. I just got back from my stress test, which my doctor performed. He wants me to stay on the Effexor until next Thursday. I quit smoking Sunday and it seems to actually be helping with me with the withdrawals of the smoking. I'm afraid of the weight gain everyone keeps talking about because I gained 40 pounds without taking this medicine recently (since November!) Also, next Thursday my results from my EMG come in (its carpal tunnel, the doctor just needs the "proof" and I will be having surgery in the next month, meaning I will probably lose my job because I only work 2 days a week and I'll probably need to take a month off work. I suppose I'll try to stay on it for a little while longer, but the crazy feeling in my head better go away before I go on the higher 75 dosage! Thanks for listening everyone!
