Since you don't have depression that doc was rather irresponsible. I'm sorry that you've have had such a hard time with it.

A few more things of note, such as...there are times I rest in bed at night and fall asleep without taking the Effexor and get horrid nightmares. And, can't fall back asleep until I take the dose. Perhaps it's just the nature of the med. Yet, it seems that Effexor is inappropriate for people on IBS. -just this one man's opinion.

For my severe depression, however, Effexor does have a rather good therapeutic effect. -the best of all I've tried, so far. It's a matter of "side effect tolerance." I've been through worse with other meds (OMG don't even let me start says "Bob the Monk"), and my experiences with psych meds may lend tolerance that is out of proportion to those using them for digestive or other ailments.

If a med exists for the gut that stays out of the head, all the better to go with that...

* Lifer with depression. But, for some I'm sure certain treatments are not appropriate.
