Colleen,
I'm glad that it worked for you. I look at boards like http://www.rxlist.com/rxboard/effexor.pl?noframes;#2827
and read nothiing but horror stories. Worse things that I have read about any other anti depressant. Does Effexor kill your emotions? I have three kids and are concerned that I will become an emotionless robot.
Thanks again!

My house has not been this clean and organized in years! My husband also tried Effexor for a short time and had no problems discontinuing it. If you don't stop it abruptly you may not have go through the dreaded "withdrawal" that so many here talk about. Your pdoc or GP can give you a couple of start-up packs if you should decide it's not for you and titrate down slowly. Good luck!
