Venlafaxine
"I was prescribed anti-depressants for menopausal symptoms, then came the anxiety.  My doctor prescribed Venlafaxine. At first it was great, but over the years I am have so many of the side effects of this drug. I didn't realize until now that having difficulty swallowing was a side effect. I've gained weight and can't lose it. I'm not at all the person I was before. Missing a dose required me to call in sick from work, not to mention how terrifying it was.  This drug is wrecking my body!! I'm weaning off. Anyone that has done this, please help!  Seeing my Dr.
Gotta get off!!!"
