Effexor is a really good med. The downside to Psycho Babble is that people usually write about all the problems they had with a med. Effexor gets a lot of negative publicity. :)
Everyone is different and respond differently to meds. Effexor helped me for a while, but I had to stop it because I became hypomanic on it (i didn't know I was bipolar type 2).
Try to stay positive. You will have some side effects at first, but they will go away in a couple of weeks.
Keep us posted!
