"effexor saved my life!!!! i was so hesitant at first to try this drug because to me it seemed so powerful compared to zoloft and celexa which i&#039;ve been on in the past. i was also nervous bc of the reviews i read with ppl talking about all the horrible side effects. i&#039;m here to tell you dont beleive everything you read. effexor is absolutely amazing!!! i had no side effects at all. if i had to say i had any it would be cold sweats for maybe a day but that&#039;s it. i take 150mg er a day and i am back to my old self if not better. my advice is that everyone&#039;s body reacts differently to medication and not everyone experiences the same things. this drug is amazing and has helped my depression in every way...."
