"my experience with effexor was absolutely terrible. i was prescibed this for my depression (3rd medication i tried) the reason i gave it 2/10 was because i didn&#039;t feel any worse mentally on this (did not feel the slightest bit better either), but if it wasn&#039;t for that i would have given it a 0/10 if possible. the side effects and withdrawal was absolutely terrible. the head &quot;zaps&quot; started to cause unbearable migraines, i had no appetite, and my vision was blurred some days. the withdrawal was something i&#039;ve never experienced before and i hope that i will never have to go through it again. i was completely bed ridden due to the unbearable migraines, sweating, and vomiting. everyone is different, but this did not work out for me."
