Came across your page when seeking help for Effexor XR. Sounds like you have had a hard year. I had heart attack when only 46 and have been stable, but developed other issues and am partially disabled. I am 64, I am wondering if you have anything you want to share with me about the Effexor. I went from 225 to 150 with little issues, Then I went down to 120...I took a jump to go down to 75 and then got sick with a horrible virus and sinus infection. The headaches are terrific and I now wonder if that is mostly from the Effexor drop...should I add back until things calm down, do you think? Mary
