I got to Effexor after trying most of the antidepressants available in the U.S. Some were better than others and most were at least a bit helpful. However, the all have side effects or stop working. So I tried Effexor, and at first I felt like everyone else always looks when I'm depressed. Energy, optimistism, I felt everything wouls eventually be okay! I'm sure someone could even call it hypomanic. They that kind of settled down, and now I just feel like I have thicker skin, I'm not so scared and sad although I aint perfect either...
And I have side-effects too.
Agitation(mild), bruxism, delayed orgasm, low sex drive, constipation.Also the withdrawal is far worse than benzodiazepine withdrawal which I have gone through 3 times in my life.
I wish I could just go back to Prozac which at the time had no side-effects. But alas..That was many years ago..
