I am appalled that you would write like this on a message board of people going through something very significant! Different people react differently! Are you on effexor? Why are you writing on this board only to put down what someone may be saying that have or are going through. I was very happy to find this board. It help me realize that what I am feeling going off effexor (dizzy, nausea, etc.) was real and not in my head! I think that you should keep your hostile opions to yourself if you aren't going to say anything beneficial to everyone else!!!!!!!
