Hi erasmus42. Welcome to the forum I'm of no help with the medication question as I don't take nor ever have taken Effexor. I think the listing conditions in the signature is just a way of letting...

Hi dark You're right. This isn't an easy problem to fix, it takes a lot of work. It's hard for most of us to ask for help, we fear we will be thought less of or laughed at. Let me assure you that...
Thanks Darren...
