I dont think that there are any easy rides in the pharma game... I am very excited to be on effexor right now as it is as I have read, really a frontline choice for therapy... It works for some people for which no other drug has worked at all...Remember that some people during clinical trials got side effects from the sugar pill (placebo), so your mindset has a lot to do w/ how you feel as well...
Just be sure to tell your pdoc what you are experiencing, and they should (if they are good) be able to give you something to cope w/ the side effects... I take xanax to level myself out and it works great... Your pdoc may be one of those paranoid types that thinks benzodiazepines are a bad bad thing, but hopefully you shouldnt have to suffer (if you even do) for nothing...
From what I think effexor is the right drug for me... I still may wind up needing to switch if the FXR doesnt work, but thats for the future to decide... I see my pdoc this friday...
good luck
