I am on my 6th day of my life AFTER EFFEXOR XR!! I feel lost, sad, shakey, hostile and I am at times, suicidal. I am not this person!!! I am usually not a severally depressed person. I was miss diagnosed and on the wrong types of medication for the last year. I finally went to a PHD and asked him what the heck is wrong with me? After many visits and several written and verbal tests he said, YOUR ADD!! I had thought over the years that I had alot of the symptoms of ADD and when I went to my Dr. he said I was suffering from sever depression.(I have never been depressed and never had signs before) I was, but because of the frustration of dealing with ADD all of my life, and feeling like a total idiot because of my lack of get up and go, and organization. My mother always told me I was DUMB!! I felt like I was very dumb but most of the time I was able to figure out a math problem well above my grade level, I did go back to college at 27 yrs of age and I now have a degree in Electronics and had a GPA of 3.8 but man, I tell you it was rough. Im sorry, please forgive my getting off of the main subject, thats another issue Im having with this withdrawl. I also gained 30 lbs on effexor, I was told its because I eat badly, but I eat fruit and veggies most of the day and I have always been a very healthy (thinish) person. I wonder why I feel like I want to just get up...run out the door and run like a wild woman down my street, seriously I get so overwhelmed since this withdrawl kicked in and I just feel like running from life. If anyone has any input for me, I sure would appreciate it. Im feeling very alone right now, and my family can not relate with me at all. THANK YOU missysham@hotmaail.com
