For me personally Effexor did not work. I was out of breath and pure exhausted from it. I would sweat like crazy. I have to agree they should change his anti depressants. I switched to Lexapro and it has been a godsend.
Everyone reacts differently. They had my husband on something and he flipped and had thoughts of killing me and himself and he's not like that at all. He was fine once he stopped the anti depressants.
