blown cherry They really have their bases covered don't they?

I already had most of these symptoms, and some of them are things that taking these dratted capsules are supposed to remove (difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite).
Me thinks efexor may be 1 part anti-depressant, 1 part placebo.

And what's with the contradictions?

Yawning? Who ever heard of that as a side effect of anything other than being sleepy?


It would appear that the main side effect of these little beige capsules is simply being alive.
