Hopefully I'll react fine & can do it myself.

King2005, please hug your Bear for me, I will cross my fingers and Cassie Cat will cross her paws for you. And we will say a prayer that you'll feel better and if you start taking medication that it will help. If you need a little help give a shout. Been there, oh, boy have I been there. [[hug]]

King2005, I'm an insurance nurse. Here are some thoughts. Effexor is made by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. In the U.S. there is a program called the Partnership for Prescription Assistance that helps patients find pharmacy assistance programs for which they qualify. Their number is 888-477-2669. I'm hoping they can connect you to a similar program for Canada residents. They also have a Web site, pparx.org. I also found a phone number for Wyeth Pharmaceuticals in Markham, Ontario on Wyeth's Web site: 905-470-3600 (50 Minthorn Blvd., Markham, ON L3T 7Y2). They too might be able to help you access a free or low-cost program till your insurance comes through. I hate to hear that you're not feeling well, I'd give you mine if I could. I've heard of people getting relief with both vitamin B complex and Saint John's Wort. I take a multivitamin that has B complex in it; I've never tried Saint John's Wort so I can't tell you one way or the other about that. Good luck!
