In reply to Positive feedback about effexor?, posted by rmshed on June 25, 2001, at 17:40:21
I have had great luck with effexor xr. Nearly two years ago, I was horribly depressed, had tried a couple of other meds (prozac and serzone) and nothing was working. Did the suicide thing - was put on effexor, and effexor pulled me out of that deep, dark hole. Now that it seems pretty certain that I am bipolar II, I am on a fairly low dose of effexor (75 mg), so I still struggle from time to time with depression, but nothing like that one time - and I credit that to the effexor. I do struggle with the hypomania on a pretty constant basis, so we keep the dosage low. I hope it helps you as it has helped me.
