>I have been on effexor for a long time. I also suffer with TMJ. I was wondering if you thought the effexor could cause, or at least make TMJ worse? Also, in the last 6-7 weeks I have been incredibly nauseated. It is really bad in the heat. I have been taking anti-nausea pills. Anyone else have terrible nausea with effexor?

I have also had all the withdrawel symptoms you all have...if I miss one dose...i just draw in to myself...but with 2 missed doses my vision gets blurry...it feels like my brian vibrates every1-2 min. but I am calm....it is the wildest feeling ever...i hate it!! I have noticed in the past couple weeks when I have had so much fatigue, I have kept a headache about every day. I have TMJ so I assumed that was what it was, but maybe not, who knows??

There are days where I don't want to eat anything but others I just want to pig out...and I do...it's horrible because I need to loose weight not gaining it. I think that is one of the main reasons for my depression. Several times I've wanted to quit but I try to stay positive and hope that soon it will all be better. I guess we just have to be strong :)

> > > I have been on Effexor since April of 05. I was on paxil CR 37.5 mg and did great for about 1 year. Then the depression and craziness came back. I was to the point that I just wanted to pack up and leave my whole life (except my kids of course nothing has ever made me depressed towards them, kind of strange really) So I was placed on effexor 75 for 2 wks then to 150. My Dr said it could cause stomach irritation so I could lose weight by not wanting to eat. That was true for 2 weeks. Then I was straight up wired for those two weeks when I would take it. Then I started eating alot and gain quite a bit of weight which was one thing I liked about Paxil CR, weight loss!! I cleaned house constantly!! I felt like a whole new person!! I couldnt sleep but I didnt care. Anything that takes away that horrible feeling is great by me.
> > > Now, it seems to be a different story for about two weeks now I have an extreme amount of fatigue. I cant hold my eyes open, always ready for bed. I am thinking maybe I need to up my dosage. I will call my DR. One good thing is I am still not depressed...unless I miss a dose. Then it is like I move inside myself and watch everything going on without much input in life.
