Effexor
I've been on Effexor for about 3 weeks; has anyone had any swelling of the extremities? I do, and I'm thinking of stopping use and returning to wellbutrin and prozac (which I was on before)

New Prescription
I was perscribed Effexor yesterday to treat postpartum depression and anxiety that I have been going through since I delivered my baby boy. I wanted to know if anyone had any other information on this drug. I am really hesitant on taking it since I do not want to become dependent of it and after reading some of the side effects I am really scared to take it. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
