I take Effexor for fibromyalgia and complex PTSD. It works very well for me. It carries some risks for pregnancy and birth, so even though my doctor said I could stay on it, I chose to go off for the duration.

And god, it was miserable.

Between a bout of COVID, fibro, and first-trimester exhaustion, I was out of commission for months. I had to plan my entire day around conserving my small amounts of energy, mostly for paid work and taking public transit.
