Researching my new tablets
I've been doing research on my new meds. The drug is called venlafaxine and the marketing name, in the UK at least, is Efexor XL. I've never taken it before, and I don't think I'd ever heard of it. Here is what Net Doctor had to say about it. I also came across a forum with a thread about Efexor XL which had a load of people saying how bad the side-effects are. I wish I hadn't found that one! That's the trouble with taking medication, you end up having to take stuff for the side effects of the original meds! The doctor said that this could make me very sleepy, but as I'm having trouble sleeping properly maybe that could be a good thing. I have to give this a try anyway. Things are pretty rough at the moment. It's hard enough coping with the fibromyalgia without being very depressed and OCD-ing madly.
