hang in there, adamie. we've all been there and it just ain't cool.
my reaction with effexor has been a slowly building improvement. i have not experienced the -WOW! What a change!- feeling with it as i had in the past with other anti-depressants (remeron which was very fast acting but also very appetite stimulating and later worse side effects, for me; and while prozac took awhile, it was dramatic but then pooped out).
after 5 weeks (last 3 wks. at 225 mg/day), i am tolerating effexor well and this week have added 150 mg/2X/day for more energy and ...
have been feeling much better. something will work for you. just be open in your communication with your fiance and hopefully she will have the patience and understanding to support you on your well to health.
