I remember used saying ( I think Im going crazy ). Now I can say, IM crazy lol. Im dying inside and I have no control of anything any more. It's just too late I think. I can't feel or think. IM not here, Im not there. Im just not me or anyone or anything anymore. I was giving effexor XR and I've read so many bad things about it from people who have used it, and I've read a couple of good storys. The thing is 90 % were bad , really bad, nightmare. But then again Im doing very bad. I been drug free for years and Im getting worst. and at the same time with drugs I feel so bad. Don't know what to do. I took one pill last night and I felt great the whole dAy, from just one pill, But Im worried about taking it and later on I might think about killing my self like some peope do. atleast I never think about taking my life now>anyone out there can help me? thanks

Hey I am on Paxil and I too have read all the horror stories. I also did a ton of research on drugs. There are many people that have issues due to a bad reaction or to the strong side effects at first or if they stop taking them all of a sudden. I am doing great on my drugs now that I have gotten over the side effects. Many many people experience success on drugs, but most of them go out and enjoy their lives instead of posting online about it. Keep on with the meds and talk to your doctor if you have any side effects and you will be ok. And, Definately if you feel suicidal get help right away. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

nsi,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having so much confusion right now. It does happen to all of us at one time or another. As far as the Effexor goes, it has helped many; many people live a more normal life. For others, it causes problems. For even others, it does nothing. But if you are getting such positive results from it, why not give it a try? These stories you are hearing are things that have happened to others, and have nothing to do with you. Just because a med has a bad reaction on one person, doesn’t mean it will happen to you. We’re all very different people. Effexor might just be the miracle med for you. The one thing I’ve read about Effexor that happens to most people, is that if and when it comes times to stop the med, it can be a very rough med to detox from, but it can be done.

I guess the question you need to ask yourself is, “Am I going to deny myself the chance to possibly feel better because of some stories I’ve heard, or am I going to take a chance on something that has already made me feel better and may improve my life”. Whatever choice you make, I hope it’s based on research and study, and not based on what may be irrational fear.

Whatever you choose to do, I hope it works out the very best possible for you.

The thing is, you NEED medication.

Your mind is running away with you.

You need to quite second guessing your doctor, AND TAKE YOUR

MEDICINE!!! Later, once you are on some medicine and can think

a little straighter, you can carry on a conversation with your doctor

about adjusting it.

BUT YOU NEED MEDICINE. You are going to FEEL crazy until you

take it.

Good. I took effexor and it was really good for my emotions. I took it for a few years... began it from the lock up psych ward so I was pretty low.
