Effexor and tiredness

I have fibromyalgia and started taking Effexor xr last fall to help combat fibro symptoms as recommended by my doctor. I am also prone to SAD. I have found that my fibro symptoms are worse if anything. I crave junk food and sweets. My doctor told me the drug could not be causing the cravings or the resultant weight gain. I finally five days ago told the doc I really didn't feel I was benefiting from the drug and she agreed that I should stop 'cold turkey'. Wellll! since then I am having nausea, chills, very vivid dreams, bordering on hallucination. I feel I have been sleeping for hours during the night and find it's only been two or three hours. I'm still not refreshed, but I can't get back to sleep. I find myself crying for no reason at all, feeling anxious, feeling angry at the least provocation. Chills, runny nose. While I was on Effexor my libido was non-existent. Now it's increased greatly. What is up with this drug. how long can I expect the after-effects to last? I had to stay home from work today for the nausea and tiredness and just general over emotionality.

Calgon take me away

Hi I have only been on this drug for a couple of days now.It was given to me for ADHD.And i was told it was not addictive and it was a mind stimulant.I am only on 37.5mg twice a day.

Can any one tell me if this is a good drug for ADHD?

I'm only sixteen and have been taking 75mg for about six months to treat me for my anxiety and depression. The side affects are awful though :( I'm tired all the time, I have to start college soon and I'm so afraid thatthis tiredness is going to get in the way. Also, I don't feel anything sexually. i only lost my virginity to my boyfriend about 9 months ago, I have to lie to him and it makes me upset that i have to do this :( When I come off them i end up feeling low and depressed and ARGUEMENTITVE especially. Anyone got any advice?
