Hi Maki,
It's great to hear Effexor is working well for you. After reading so many scary posts about it, I was hesitant at first to try it, but I'm glad I have. I'm on 225 mg. I'm especially pleased that I've now lost about half the weight I gained on Celexa.
I accidentally missed my dose the other day for the first time. I remebered the missed dose the follwing day at about 6 am when I awoke to a debilitating headache. So I took that day's dose early and finally at about 8 PM I felt back to normal. But I was pretty useless most of the day: dizzy, spacy, foggy, headachy, nauseous.
I'm actually thinking of lowering my dose. Now that I'm on less Depakote, I don't think I need as much of the Effexor. And I'm encouraged by the fact that you and others are feeling improvement on smaller doses.
Good luck!
Sarah
