Cait, here is a link to a site describing side effects from Effexor XR:http://www.drugs.com/sfx/effexor-side-effects.htmlThis drug is not commonly used to treat MS!Love and hope,nTo: MSersLife Sent: Mon, May 30, 2011 9:23:27 PMSubject: Still alive but not all here

Just wanted you to know I didn't just pop up and then disappear again. All I seem to do is sleep having the worst nightmares involving people and incidents in my real life. I'm constantly anxious, my heart feels like it's going to burst out of my chest and I'm so nauseated.

Those of you who are or have taken Effexor XR should I be feeling like this after 7 weeks? There's no such thing as 'calling the dr' here ... you have to make an appt. which will take weeks and I'm so panicky I don't want to leave the house. Right now I think I'm going to quit it ... I can't stand the depersonalization and panic for no friggin reason and moreso, because my bp which is always under 120/80 has shot way up.

I've tried taking it both morning and night with a snack or cereal and a full glass of water but it isn't doing a bit of good that I can see ... advice gladly welcomed ... hugs, Cait
