> Hi, I have ben on effexor for a year (I'm 20 this month), and have noticed over the past five months that I'm feeling worse and worse as time goes on, I am also experiencing alot of rage, I flip out, getting very angry and upset. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I went to my doctor and sh'e changed my diet, only slightly (reducing carbohydrates and increasing protein), and recommended counselling which I have done and happy to start up again, however, I have alot of trouble getting up and doing daily things, let alone living a balanced (exercise and healthy eating) lifestyle. I was hoping I could get some ideas on what other people have experienced? and if their drugs have weared off over time, adn caused additional rage?
All ADs have the potential to 'wear off'. Sounds like the Effexor isn't doing the job for you; were I you, I would be considering a change of medication. Effexor wiped the floor with me & the side-effects steadily worsened all the time.
Effexor is a v. effective drug but certainly ain't everyone's cup of tea!
