Hello! Iv\'e been on Effexor XR since the middle of July with good results- Things dont upset me as much and Im able to greet the morning with a smile, instead of a \"i\'m not f*@#ing getting out of bed!\" I have made some great life changing desicions and feel that my mind is able to \"categorize\" feelins instead of just dumping them all is one spot. But I ran out and kept forgetting to refill my Rx-not good! I basically exploded-I was dizzy and totally unfocused. I was moving/ talking way faster then anyone else. I spent 8 hours trying to figure out why I was at work, then tried to hold myself together enought to get my kids bathed and into bed. But as I was making dinner I turned and looked at the mess I had created, 15 things started and not one completed. I realized I was out of control. I asked my boyfriend to drive me to the clinic where I could get a refill. I by this time couldnt sit still and was crying uncontrollably, I got to where I work as well as receive my healthcare and was able to get a refill and xanax due to the fact that effexor xr takes a few days to get into the system. The next day I was just tired and slow. I went home halfway thru the day and slept 5 hours got up to get the kids in bed and went back to sleep. This morning I again woke up with a smile on my face and had amazing sex with my partner. So if your taking effexor and arent sure....You\'re the only one who can make YOU doing anything-BUT its OK to ask for help. GOOD LUCK WITH LIFE CHOICES.
