In reply to Any GOOD results from Effexor?, posted by brussell on December 14, 2003, at 14:45:29
I've been on Effexor XR for 3 years and it has been the only AD that has had any staying power. It has kept me out of the "hell hole", increased my energy tenfold, and hasn't pooped out like all the others. However, if you miss a dose, it does give you the willies...If you're good at taking your meds on time every day, you won't need to worry about this side effect. I've never had to come off of it, but I imagine it's pretty gnarly, but I'll deal with that when/if the time comes.
Like any AD, you've got to get through the first few days of strange side effects...give it another try if you feel up to it.
