Thanks for being on the ball, scott. I was mixing the half lives, last detectable dose, and metabolites. If it were not for active metabolites
i would not have a life ! While on the subject of 1/2 lifes and Effexor, Effexor XR did not show an average half life much longer than the regular Effexor. It did show a less abrupt peak. My own observations are the the XR makes for less GI upset,longer action, less sweating, and less of the very weak rush I got right after I dosed. I had minor problems with regular Effexor, the sweating was the worst so I can see how this med
was difficult for normies. I have no side effects fron XR except a very slight increase in sweating. XR does not solve the issue of crashing if I miss a dose. It only lasts a day in me so it has never been a big deal.james
