Hi Mary Alice,

It's been a long time since I was on it, so my memory is a little sketchy, but if I remember correctly, this is one of the meds that caused a lot of nausea and vomiting for me. And since the problem which brought me to the doctor in the first place is causing nausea....I don't know about this! <G> I guess I'll find out. I'm about to take my first dose.

I'm glad the Effexor has helped you in some ways but am sorry it hasn't helped as much with the depression. It sounds like it has helped with some functional things though - would that be a fair description? I couldn't tell that it helped me at all previously. But I'm trying again.

Thanks, Mary Alice. I'm still thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.

Hugs, ErinBear
