In reply to Effexor Club is a great idea, posted by alluredbit on August 3, 2003, at 19:21:54
Welcome Sandor,
There have been lots of negative posts lately about Effexor. Know that the most serious issue is withdrawal when you stop taking it. I've been on it since May 2003 and it was a lifesaver. Effexor combined with therapy kept me sane during a very stressful period in my life. The Side Effects (SE's) are annoying though.If you have problems sleeping or experience the early morning wakeups (3:00am), try Benedryl. Sometimes you can *tweak* the effectiveness of Effexor by changing the time of day you take it from morning to night, or vice versa. If Effexor isn't for you, taper off slowly.
btw, there are alot of very nice people in the "effexor club".
Good Luck!
KDi
