I dunno - Freeman posted here and he took it for his GAD - he is a psych dr. too. He said it was curative for his social anxiety go figure.

In reply to Anybody know if Freeman still takes Effexor?, posted by chad_3 on November 5, 2002, at 22:08:28
Dunno why he told me this - was personal I thought. Made me wonder...
Anyway - he told me at first xr stood for extra reliable - then he told me that xr was codeword for impotent. but he also claimed that regardless his new girlfriend loved him more than ever since she could run the show.
go figure. but i hear xr is extra reliable on depression.

Actually no never heard of it w/o preexisting movement disorder -
Ask Dr. Gershin or Dr. Bob. Ask them if it might be psychogenic - or if you are kidding apologize to them.

----------I think I've posted before on something similar to this. I used to get a whole body "shiver" of sorts when I was first starting effexor and I would yawn. For some reason, genuine yawns would trigger this kind of bizzare spasm in me, right at the end of the yawn.

WOW, Eddie! This is the first time that I've heard anybody else mention the yawning connection. When I was starting and withdrawing from Effexor, I had exactly the same thing!
