Thank you, dancingstar. I think you guys are right - it was an alcohol. I'm still feeling okay (if you can call it normal when you are taking all this crap). But still i'm planning to take off effexor because i dont like the wierd dreams, the constant fatique in my muscles and dark circles under the eyes. I'm just very concerned about bad timing for me to do it now - i'm thinking of leaving my husband, who is not bad all the time (if you know what i mean)... I was thinking about it for years now, and decided to see a doctor thinking that maybe all the problems are just in my head and its because i'm chronically depressed since i was a kid. Anyway, i'm still confused, but i'm very close to this step, even started looking for an appartment for myself. But oh my... its so hard to make this step when he is not always a jerk. Sorry for all these details.

> Faith is right about the alcohol. It doesn't mix with these drugs. I think that something in the drugs magnifys the effects of alcohol, and the combination just ends up making you feel bad. I hope today is a better one!!
