Venlafaxine
"I am 40 years old and I have never taken a AD in my life, however I should have! I have a hip injury and picked up a addiction to opiates along the way! Luckily effexor has helped with the psychological effects of getting off of opiates! I know about all of the horror stories of AD but for me it was the best choice I could have made! I just returned to a very stressful job after a 2 year absence and I don't think my return to work would have been as successful without AD! During my 2 year slump I never used to leave the house, I slept all the time, used to cry at the thot of doing the dishes.....insanity! Luckily the only side effects that I had was the dry mouth and slight headaches in the beginning which went away!"
