> > Hi Tess... I'am so happy for you! I too am on Effexor (150 mg.) and feel that it has made a significant improvement in my moods. May I ask how long you have been on it and have you experienced any side effects? If so, how do you manage them? Thanks in advance, AnneL
I have been on Effexor SR 75mg for approximately one year. I just found this site last night. Never really noticed anything until I saw the references from other posters. I do have some problems with trying to think of an appropriate word, but I had problems with that long before, also with weight gain, but I had quit walking during the winter, so my fault again. I've started walking again, which helps you deal with problems and your weight. And I can just laugh off the word lapses as my beginnings to Senior Moments!! Ha!! I mean, if it got worse, I'd be concerned, but I think most people go through that and it hasn't become an everyday occurrence. I'm 47 years old and I'm going to put on weight at this age if I don't watch what I eat and exercise, I can't blame that on a pill. We also need to remember that there are going to be more people voicing problems with a drug than ones singing it's praises. Let me know how you're doing. Do you have any side effects? Tess
