Try to hang in there. My first two weeks on the med was pure hell but I don't know if it was because of the effexor or because I was weaning off zoloft at the same time. You will never know if this is the right med for you unless you wait 6-8 weeks. Try not to even think about withdrawl at this point (I know, easier said than done) but focus on getting some relief for your depression. I have noticed that at 150 mg, my thoughts of death have diminished greatly. What helped me get through the first few weeks on effexor was .5 mg of Ativan as needed for the anxiety. I don't know if you have the anxiety that I did but this was a great relief. Please keep posting, this is a wonderful group of people with great insight and support.
