Just a warning if/when you get off it - the withdrawal from Effexor is PURE HELL.

Like lightening going off inside your brain. Hard to describe, but the pain is horrible.

If I had known....I never would have taken it in the first place. Not to mention the fact that I was clearly Bipolar but my dumb-***** therapist didn't see it and kept increasing my anti-depressant meds which only made me worse!

Lovely.
