Hey Danny, thanks for the words of encouragement. Congratulations on getting off of the Effexor.
Honestly, I haven't experienced any side effects going from 225 mg to 150 mg. I don't get sea sick either, so maybe that has something to do with it? Don't know.
I DO know that for me, it really helps with the anxiety (GAD), panic attacks, OCD, and depression. Also, it helps to focus my mind so I can think. I am not afraid to try different things now and if they work for me, I can learn the behavior because I can actually think clearly about it with focus.
The side effects that I still have after being on it for a few months are; sleepiness, hunger all the time, and absolutely no sex desire. I hate that part.
I hope I make sense. Anyway, Effexor is not for everyone. - TinMan
