Thanks for your reply- I didn\'t find it until now when I noticed a number next to my name. I think my Dr. put me on the Effexor too because of hormonal difficulties. Someone has got to figure out this hormone thing. Aren\'t we just covering up the symptoms and not treating the real issue here? I think the \"witch\" is either the hormone problem or w/drawal from these meds. I\'m not saying that they were not hiding my symptoms but that is unacceptable as an answer to an underlying problem physiologically. Have you read any of Suzanne Somers? To be honest, I bought the book but have only read about 2 chptrs. She had breast cancer as well and hormone fluctuations. My night sweats are so bad that I can soak right thru a full comforter. We need a gaggle of women including Physicians to forum and discuss what the true answers to hormone loss and fluctuation does, feels like and how we can get help. Other than women whispering things like \"primrose oil, etc, it seems to be a mystery. Why did I not know of these horrific side effects of withdrawal before? Was I not listening? I don\'t think that\'s the case as many have said on this website. It\'s like a huge Corp. that forgets the little people. The answer is in the little people. Thank you for your response and I support you as well. God Bless. Shauna
