Effexor effects

Posted by LightAngel on December 26, 2004, at 20:53:17

New here, but I've been on Effexor for about 12 months, with an increase to 150 about 8 weeks ago. About that time I quit my job after 7 years, was injured slightly but it took a long time to get better. Very unusual for me to quit a job, now I am even more depressed, felt I was depressed for a long time, want to just sit or lay down all the time. I'm very forgetful, this was never me before. Just can't seem to handle things, don't want to do anything, is this a side effect of effexor? This has me really concerned now. I missed effexor when I was on 75 for two days and I felt like I was going out of my mind, couldn't concentrate and was crying all the time and just felt horrible. Sometimes I think I would feel better off of this drug, because this is not me at all, it is hard to find anything to be happy about right now. I've read about the side effects of getting off of it too, don't look forward to that. I feel sick to think that the effexor has caused me to become more depressed, quit my job, although the job was stressful, but was it the effexor, i really don't know. I know this is long. AL
