I have recently started on effexor and have really good results so far. I have never been on any other ad's but have always had anxiety and depression and for the first time in my life I feel good again. It got so bad that I nearly ran off my family and the love of my life. He of all people can see the benifits from this medication. I guess in some way I knew that I needed to be on ad's but I always blamed my major mood swings and irrability on pms but it finally hit me when I had an anxiety attack for the first time and I felt like I was going to loose my mind. I wish I would have accepted this a long time ago, I guess I just never wanted think I was crazy, I was just "unique"!!!! The side affects that I have been experincing are minimal compared to the consequences of being unhappy and making everyone around me unhappy as well. Misirey loves company, right? My doctor started me off on 75 mg and the only side effects that I have experinced are yawning, sleppiness, a little dizziness, and loss off apatite(but I don't consider that a bad side effect:)I have heard everyone talking about brain tremors and I have no idea what those are so if someone could inform me I would aprecciate it!
