All the best to you - and hang in there. You will be feeling better soon, I am sure.If in the future you decide to go off Effexor to try another med - Don't stop Effexor cold turkey. Although Effexor can be very helpful to so many, it needs to be titrated down very very slowly - sometimes over a period of months not weeks. Suddenly stopping any of these meds cold turkey is not a good idea - but Paxil and Effexor especially can land you in the hospital right quick.
