Here are two things that get lost on this board and this is an important read for NEWBIES.
1. Every med affects everyone differently. We all have different body chemistry. What may be a miracle for me, may be a disaster for you. Or vice versa.
2. When people are talking about how a primary medicine makes them feel (for example, Effexor) and you are not getting the same results or perhaps even opposite results, sometimes that person may not be mentioning the other meds that he or she takes along with the primary medicine. That makes a big difference. Taking Effexor with Xanax and Neurontin and even a Tylenol PM is likely to have a different effect than taking Effexor alone.
Please keep these two things in mind when reading this message board. You have come to a good place! There are people in here who have been where you are, or even worse. These people want to help you, they want to share their knowledge. Use information on this board not as an absolute truth, but as a starting point for your own careful examination.
