For me, Effexor was the worst med ever. Several different side effects on that. Mania, SSE, , insomnia, irritability, paranoia, urinary issues, change in taste, nystgmas (bouncy eyes), serious weight gain (like 70 pounds). I've lost 40 after quitting it. I have a long list just for Effexor
Abilify - Tardive dyskinesia
Topamax - couldn't think straight
Trileptal - Zombie
Wellbutrin - Irritability
Geodon - Increased sugar, increased cholesterol (but it sure works great for my dysphoric manias. Haven't had one since being on it which is utterly fantastic!)
Hard to keep it all straight. Hope this helps.
