[QUOTE="Luminosity, post: 24553, member: 3357"] I have a year's worth of experience with Effexor. It was a terrible medication for me. Basically completely dehydrated my body. I was hospitalized twice for dehydration. I got terrible sores on my face and body. I was thirsty beyond belief. I couldn't eat as I got sick everytime I did. My blood pressure skyrocketed and then THEN my doctor took me off. I ended up in hospital for that even though the weaning period was 4 weeks in the works I had to go back on and wean more. I do know people who this medication worked wonders for.... everyone responds to medications differently... this is MY experience with Effexor. My advice is NEVER miss a dose. Take it at the EXACT same time everyday... withdrawal symptoms are almost immediate and the rx info will back that up. This was before my bipolar diagnosis... the Effexor brought out the mania... so basically a year of h*ll. Try it... if you feel anything unusual talk to psychiatrist immediately. Hope this medication is good for you! Lumi [/QUOTE]
