"..It took me 6 years of trying different RXs until I found the right one for me: Effexor. I've been on it for about 6 years now. The first month was MISERABLE. It gave me terrible stomach aches and nausea. I should also mention that it made me sweat like a whore in church too. I wanted to throw up my hands and never touch that Effexor again, but my shrink encouraged me to stick it out for a few more weeks so we could see what kind of effect it would have on me. After 6 weeks or so, I felt like a whole new woman.."
