Im not taking a chance taking effexor XR, I been readng what people had to say about it and it seems like a nightmare. IM doing really, really bad. but atleast I never think about killing my self. I don't want to take this drug that will make me feel great and I will go crazy when I get off of it. I took one last night and guess what?( I felt so good already, it alrady worked) but I wont take any more because of what I been hearing from others and what I been reading on the site. I heard a few good storys, but most were negative. I will go workout like crazy starting tomorrow, this might take care of the problem. peace.
