I have read all the posts and it sounds like what I eventually want to do. Because of the fact that I dont really think I was that depressed to be taking 150mg of Effexor in the first place, I think it was a bad idea for me to get started on it one year ago. My problem is that I have become relying on the med to help me through the day, eventhough sometimes it makes me a zombie, w/clogged up brain feeling and yawny drowsy feeling. I cannot muster up the energy to commit to quitting effex, I think I might need to take two week vacation from work in order to do it. There have been alot of down effects of this drug here are the negatives I have experienced.
Low sex function
lowered energy levels, yawning, foggy feeling
sleeping more than before
have gotten more lazy
get angry quit more often sometimes leading to arguments at work and with my boss
alot more negative feelings
I am upset I even started taking this illicit drug
