Hi Jerri
I am in the process of tapering from Effexor XR. In fact, I only have two days left. I am changing meds as the list of side effects just far outweighed the actual help this drug was giving my depression.
I am lucky that I did not experience any blood pressure problems but I can identify with the mania. My husband and Mom are forever telling me to slow down and not to shout. The wild and vivid dreams are now becoming the norm for me. I cannot remember when last I had a good dream free sleep.
This is a good drug, but works for some and not for others.
I don't know much about the liver and the effects of this drug on the liver but if you pop over to the Psycho Babble board which concentrates on medication related issues, you will find a wealth on information and experiences on various medications over there.
Please visit all the boards though and remember, if you ever need to chat - we're always here.
Take care
Sabrina
