Hey guys, my girlfriend just recently switched from Paxil to effexor. She experiences the nigh sweats and nausia associated with this terrible thing. I quit heroine cold turkey so i know the feelings of withdrawl. I believe that this could be just as addictive as the worst thing in my life. I actually cannot understand why the physicians arent educated on the withdrawl aspect. She missed a dose this morning and she was extemely moody and her moods changed from crying to angry to desperate (I need my medicine, etc).. Im so worried about her and know that If I try to confront her about the medicine, she will tell me she \"NEEDS\" it.. yea, ive said those things before too... Its terrible and I wish all of you luck and success on getting clean from this terrible crap ...
