Hi Mixie:
I was feeling exactly the same! I was prescribed Effexor XR about 6 weeks ago and, after reading all the negative posts, started to get concerned. I'm still working up to the dosage my doctor has recommended, but I am already starting to feel some effects. Just last night I had a full 8-hours of uninterrupted sleep, which is practically a miracle for me! And I realized this morning that I am starting to feel more relaxed and a little less stressed. I'm feeling optimistic about Effexor. Admittedly, I'm having a few side effects (twitching legs and one night I had strange flashes of light), but nothing extreme.
My best wishes to you ... I hope things work out for you!
Kath
