> I am now on 4 weeks of Effexor XR. I worked my way up to 150 mg and it is finally working.
Ms
150 must be the magical dose because I too started to feel quite "normal" at this level. You worked upto it alot quicker than myself, it took me around three months, increasing by 37.5 every three weeks.
I had side-effects but the benefits were more beneficial than they were a hindrance. Now at 150 the side-effects are almost nil, they don't affect my daily living.
A good observation about the physical symptoms regarding depression/anxiety. For myself this is what I mostly get. Maybe you have to go around the block numerous times to be able to identify what the symptoms are?
Glad you're feeling good, like myself!
