I have always been afraid to take some medication for depression. By admitting I have a problem would be admitting failure or defeat.
I finally admitted defeat in my own personal battles and decided (with a gentle but swift nudge from family) that I should try something. I'm on effexor and having a hard time with the side effects. I'm sweating, have slight muscle cramps, head ache and my skin feels like it is tingling or crawling. I almost feel high.
I'm really not liking this feeling.
I have been on it for three weeks. The nausea has is finally gone now but I'm wondering about the rest. My doctor says it's normal but I have a hard time putting my faith in any doctor. He also told me that coming off effexor was easy and after reading some of the posts on here I am starting to doubt my doctor has a clue.Thanks
