@kchastain, you mention that you are having trouble getting into a behavioral medicine clinic to help evaluate your medications and situation. May I ask when are the barriers you're facing? Are you able to speak with the doctor who prescribed Effexor for you? It sounds like you have questions that need to be answered by a medical professional.
