Effexor: Pros and Cons

[rumzcaneconundrum]

Sueboy,

Me neither, Effexor was horrible it made my twitches worst, increased my anxiety, made all my symptoms more pronounced, scarying me even more. But on the other hand there are some people who they say effexor not necessarily helped their twitches, but it helped them not worry over them as much.

But I don't think I will ever have enough courage to try them again.

I must say that the Effexor has actually helped my anxiety a great deal. I still twitch and tremor, and there are certain tremors that still freak me out, but Effexor has helped me calm down.

All the best,

Luke

I should not for SSRIs and SNRI antidepressants, 30 percent of people are non-responders, and some get the side effects and no help.

Also consider that if you decide to get off an AD, there may be a period of withdrawal that includes some of the weirdest sensations known to man.

all of my twitching started after i was on only 10mlgs of paxil for only 3 months and have never stopped. 5 years now. i am convinced that that crap caused these twitches permanantly. greeaaaaaat. i wouldnt touich another AD with a ten foot pole
