Paul, I hope everything is well with you. I haven't heard from you in a few days, and then I realized that I hadn't posted an update either. I haven't taken Effexor since Friday, so it's been 4 days. I've had to take some Klonopin to counteract the nervousness from the Prozac, and for all I know, withdrawal from Effexor. I get random joint pain, such as tonight, and I think that is definitely a withdrawal effect. It comes and goes. I'm sure once I'm completely over that garbage Effexor I won't have this anymore. I hope I don't have to keep taking the Klonopin because I would eventually like I have kids, and I know it's bad to take benzos while pregnant. SSRIs aren't great either, but at least there have been successes with those. But the side effects that I was trying to get away from (splitting headaches, pounding heart, etc) with the Effexor are gone now. How is the Prozac going for you? I hope you are feeling better. Let me know! -Bonnie
