> Does Effexor xr lose effectiveness? Any experience and/or literature on this? I have been on 225 mg. for about two years and in last few weeks have returned to classic depression symptoms: sleep, sleep, sleep, (makes for "great" weekends!), eat, eat, eat, not caring about/for self, do not clean place, etc.(not suicidal!). Am terrified of withdrawal symptoms, but will look into Prozac. Thanks!
James here....I seems like poop out happenes to some people on
any AD. I feel it is not related to a specific AD
but the process all AD's use to acheive their effect.
If Effexor worked well for you you could try
increasing the dose and/or adding an augmenting agent.
I take 300 mgs Effexor XR and and Remeron 15 mgs
and this combo is very effective. Some doc's consider
it a big gun.james
