The doctor gave me Effexor XR for depression so... I looked on www.effexorxr.com

for the side effects and look...

Possible Side Effects of EFFEXOR XR

EFFEXOR XR may cause side effects in some people. In clinical studies, few

people had to stop taking EFFEXOR XR because of side effects.

In clinical studies, the most common side effects included:

a.. Nausea

b.. Dizziness

c.. Sleepiness

d.. Abnormal ejaculation

e.. Sweating

f.. Dry mouth

g.. Gas

h.. Abnormal vision

a.. Nervousness

b.. Insomnia

c.. Anorexia

d.. Constipation

e.. Confusion/agitation

f.. Tremor

g.. Yawning

h.. Palpitation

Tell your doctor right away if you have

a.. increases in heart rate.

b.. extreme confusion or seizures, which may indicate very low levels of

sodium in the blood.

c.. abnormal bleeding or bruising.

d.. sudden, unexpected eye pain, eye redness, or changes in vision, which may

indicate increased eye pressure.

e.. symptoms of mania or hypomania, such as persistently elevated or irritable

mood, a decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, hyperactivity, and rapid,

excessive speech.

EFFEXOR XR may cause an increase in your cholesterol. Your doctor may want to do

blood tests to check your serum cholesterol periodically.

I told my mom that I wasn't going to take them just because of the side

effects... too scary for me... I am glad she told me to look up the side effects

on the site because I would have taken them. I would rather have depression

then go into a seizure, or anorexia or something else that could really hurt me.

I can deal with the depression. But I cannot deal with having to go to the

hospital becuase of a pill a doctor gave me...

Re: ine

When I think of that time recently with all those pills I am just so thankful

I am where I am at. I will never try another additional pill. I am done. psy's

scarey! ine

yeah... I am glad I didn't take the ones the doctor gave me. I mean, I am a

medical transcriptionist so I hear all the time what people feel like on these

meds so I knew better than to take them myself and to just stick it out because

you always have to climb that mountain first. I am climbing mine right now. I

think whatever I do, I am going to try hard not to get meds if I go to the

doctor. The only meds I think I am going to take is birth control... for

obvious reasons. LOL

Re: ine

That's what started my whole nightmare with my meds. ine

oh I know that... but ... you kind of need to have " someone " for that... :) I

am single so I don't do that LOL, but it is always a good thing just in case.

Re: ine

Make sure he uses something-Aids, etc. Birth control pills aren't that safe

either. ine

Re: ine

I have been trying to get her to go to the doctor... but she won't ... I think

even if she were to get to the hospital... she would register and leave because

" they took to long " LOL so yeah, I have been trying... at the same time, I try

to keep her calm and relaxed... I sometimes think I relax her too much though

because she starts to get tired and she falls asleep. Sometimes, she just needs

someone to figure something out for her and when I don't know what to say I just

don't say anything. I am going to work on that amongst other things. I love my

mom to death and she is my best friend, my mom and she is the closest thing I

have to a dad. I would bend over backwards for her (sometimes it doesn't seem

like that, but I would) and I don't want to see her hurting like she is anymore.

My mom is also the type of person who can " handle " a lot of pain, so sometimes,

you wouldn't even know she was hurting because she hides it so well... until

she tells you, and then when she tells you, she is the type of person who won't

make it seem like she is hurting so much. So sometimes it is hard to diagnose

how much pain she is feeling. LOL She is a trooper and I love her so much.

Re: ine

Summer,

Good thing you've got your mom on your side!! Moms are real good about not

letting their babies get pushed around by doctors or anyone!! A mom and her

child is like a momma bear and her cub - lovely to look at but don't you dare

get between them...LOL

You're truly blessed, Summer, to have your mom. A Mom can be your best

friend - and when you have one that has been through it all and survived (and

has

kept her sanity), well....you couldn't ask for more.

Be good to your mom and make her relax some. Be her main source of strength

and I promise you'll never regret it.

Hugs to you Summer (and good ol Mom)!

ine,

Sorry, I would have been in on this but I finally slept!! Girl, I know

exactly how you feel, when I was 21 yrs old my most favorite person in the

world, shot himself while I was talking to him on the phone. He was my

cousin. He, too, wouldn't have made it much longer, it was inevitable what

was going to happen, he was weak and sad all the time. Sometimes we just

can't help even though we try, the person is so unhappy that it goes beyond

the realm of counseling and treatment I think. I remember this horrible

event every year, however, I now look at it with more of a different aspect,

as he was miserable then, so miserable and at least now he is happy. He

never would have made it in this rough world. Sometimes, and I hate to say

this, but it is just better for them, this way. I hope today is a better

day for you. Big smiles, you are here and life is going so well for you

right now. Everything is finally happening for you, don't look back girl

your not going that way!!!! HUGS!! Nola

-- Re: anniversary

ine, so sorry to hear what your brother went through

in his life. Not easy for any of you.

Anniversaries are tough. I lost a friend unexpectedly last

year who would have been 49 today. We always called

each other on each others birthdays for the past 14 years

although I no longer live in Houston where we met.

It felt so odd to not call him today!

Makes me sad but our loved ones do live on in our hearts

still!

Take care of yourself,

LeAnn

Thanks, what do you mean by Spirit loves you? Who is Spirit if I may ask. You

are right I need to be aware of thinking I am strong. Thanks. Too often we are

unware of what we are thinking and saying untell someone points it out to us.

Thanks, I read the affirmations and will continue to read them. As I read the

affirmations I said to myself-that's right. I have alot to give to someone.

Years ago when I was much sicker I was involved with 3 or 4 men who really loved

me and saw that in me. Unfortunately I was too sick to stay in the

relationship. But I need to look at the good pieces in me. Everyone I meet

likes me and thinks I am a giving, loving and kind person. I need to focus on

that. Thanks, ine
