Can you try a different doctor? I have this issue with doctors where I have a hard time going to them when I know that I have not done all that they wanted me to do. But then one of my doctors plainly told me one day that I shouldn't ever be afraid to tell my doctors exactly what is going on and exactly how I feel, because doctors are used to patients relapsing and are getting paid pretty good money to help us through said relapse. But if you cannot go back to the same doctor, maybe you could try another one? Either way, someone needs to know that you did not like the Effexor. If not a medical doctor, what about a psychiatrist?
