Effexor (Venlafaxine) is an antidepressant of the SNRI class first introduced by Wyeth in 1999. It increases both serotonin and norepinephrine levels in the brain by inhibiting serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake, in order to help combat major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder. Effexor is one of the more motivating antidepressants, which is useful since depression is usually accompanied by a lack of motivation. Effexor is a very effective antidepressant, and was ranked by Consumer Reports 2004 as the most effective of the six antidepressants they studied, making Effexor useful to people who are not able to cure their clinical depression by taking SSRI antidepressants. Doctors have switched patients unable to be treated by SSRI antidepressants over to Effexor and have found that it usually works. Effexor is also known to cause weight loss, but taking Effexor just for weight loss is not recommended.

Effexor, as with other antidepressants, carries a risk of side effects. The most common of these are a lack of libido, insomnia, dry mouth, constipation, and dizziness. These side effects may begin when you begin taking Effexor and should clear up within a month. However, if they prove too serious or inconvenient and you wish to stop taking Effexor, you should talk to your doctor and get your dose tapered off to prevent withdrawal effects. Serious side effects include increased suicidal thoughts and mania, and liver damage. Effexor, with its highly motivating properties, may exacerbate suicidal feelings when you first begin to take the drug, so it is important to be monitored for suicidal thoughts and behavior at this time. Adolescents are especially prone to suicidal thoughts and behavior when taking antidepressants.

Effexor shares the same serious withdrawal risks that other modern antidepressants can have. If you stop taking Effexor suddenly, you can experience a sensation of electric shocks running through your body, sometimes referred to as “brain zaps” or “brain shivers,” compounded with confusion and extreme mood swings. Effexor can have particularly brutal withdrawal symptoms: in some clinical studies done by the manufacturers of the drug, Wyeth, some patients had withdrawal symptoms so severe that they may have had to continue taking the drug for the rest of their lives. However, in practice this is rare, as a competent doctor should taper off your dosage of the drug so that you can come off of it gradually when you no longer need to take it, thus avoiding or reducing in severity many withdrawal symptoms. There was a class action lawsuit filed against Wyeth in 2004 because of Effexor’s withdrawal symptoms.

Effexor is a strong SNRI antidepressant that is very effective against depression, but carries with it a risk of side effects and withdrawal symptoms. A competent doctor should be able to guide you through the process of taking Effexor so that you experience as few of these complications as possible, including monitoring for serious side effects when you first start taking Effexor and having your dosage tapered off when you wish to stop taking the Effexor.

If you are concerned you may have fibromyalgia then you will be keen to find as much information on fibromyalgia as possible. This article aims to cover the theories concerning the possible causes of this debilitating condition.

Although initial studies have found women, between the ages of twenty and fifty-five, are most likely to develop fibromyalgia, there are still so many unknown factors about fibromyalgia that are yet to be understood.

There is a compelling reason why studies on fibromyalgia need to continue and that is the number of people afflicted by fibromyalgia is rapidly rising. In the United States, it is estimated that around 3 – 5% of the population have fibromyalgia.

That would translate to around five to seven million people. And the number is reportedly still rising. On a global scale, the volume of such patients is much greater.

Several more interesting facts about fibromyalgia are to be found in its immediate demographics. Women are far more likely to develop the disease compared to men, on a representative ratio of 20:1. Although the development of fibromyalgia does occur in older people and children it is less common. The average age for developing fibromyalgia is 45.

Symptoms are varied and tend to start slowly and build up over time, with the connection between the symptoms often overlooked. Because of the similarity to other conditions fibromyalgia is commonly misdiagnosed.

The main symptom is pain, and there are 18 common tender points on the body that are very sensitive to pressure or touch. These tender points tend to occur symmetrically on each side of the body.

Aside from pain other symptoms include fatigue, headaches, dizziness, stiff joints on waking, sleep disorder and mental fuzziness, sometimes termed ‘brain fog’.

Though there are many studies that have already been conducted, the cause of fibromyalgia is unclear with a number of competing theories being put forward.

Sleep disorders are common in people with fibromyalgia and recent research may have changed the status from a symptom to a cause. Most fibromyalgia sufferers do not achieve the same levels of deep sleep as normal people do. It is during deep sleep that cells heal and rejuvenate and the brain sorts and stows all the day’s experiences. Without deep sleep the body is unable to function at its normal capacity.

Immune system abnormalities may also be to blame. When the immune system is malfunctioning it can start to attack healthy cells, which causes inflammation and pain.

Genetics haven’t been ruled out as a cause either because women with a close female relative with fibromyalgia have a high risk of developing the condition themselves.

Another theory is fibromyalgia is bought on by an accident or injury. A vast majority of sufferers experienced a physical trauma before the onset of the condition. Damage to the central nervous system can impact on the way the brain functions, lowering pain thresholds, disturbing sleeping patterns and impairing cognitive thought processes.

If you are concerned that you have fibromyalgia then make an appointment with your doctor and discuss with them information on fibromyalgia and whether further testing is required.
