I have to say that Jenna's experience is much like mine - I was confused, depressed, tired, all while I was taking the Effexor. I have never felt better than since I quit everything. Of course, I paid for it with the withdrawal, brain zaps, dizziness, nausea, the works, but I feel so much better, and I amd handling my depression (even in the wintertime) with just talk therapy. Of course, I know there are people who are worse off than me, really clinically depressed, but I don't think this was the case with me, or if it was, it was short-term, because of the situation I was in (relationships, death in family) Once treatment is initiated, nobody thinks to re-evaluate it or change it unless there's a problem.
JMHO,
Worm
