Hi,
I'm currently in therapy regarding an incestuous relationship that went on for years-- believe it or not I didn't start getting flash backs until I was almost 30, 15+ years after the fact. I've been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and chemical dependance (alcoholism) and am currently recovering.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with anti-depressants. I had Effexor prescribed to me to curtail panic attacks and flash backs, and this is my third day taking 37 mg. So far, I've been jittery and nauseous, but that's about all. Specifically, I'm terrified of experiencing weight gain (I'm also border-line eating disordered), and I've heard horrror stories on other sites. Does anyone have any insights?
Thanks,
Jenny
