effexor nearly killed me. i am five feet tall. i lost 38 lbs.

everyone else has heard this here, but i want you to know you have a "partner"........

doc wouldn't react to my losing 11 lbs in 3 weeks. wouldn't help me. he was right or else. my pharmacist and i opened those freaking little capsules and counted, yes, counted, the little balls inside.....took me MONTHS to taper off. had zaps, nausea, headaches, head felt like it was full of moving rocks, etc.

while on it, at first, it helped a lot. and bam! i quit eating, once every two or three days, and i worked in ER then. 12-1/2 hour shifts.

i quit the med, quit the idiot doctor and became so depressed i thought i would die.

p.s. i lost down to a size zero pant. people stared at me and i'm sure said i was anorexic. and i was, technically.
