I am currently up to 300 mgs of Effexor XR a day
with no results! I am chronically tired, and I
have some sort of rash on my face which is either
stress or from the Effexor. I was also taking
a neuroleptic short term but stopped because of
side effects. I am becoming convinced that the
only relief for me is the natural way; through
exercise. For years I have struggled with depression
but at least I had the energy to exercise, and
the natural endorphins served to elevate my mood,
at least temporarily. Anyone else in this
predicament? My doctor strongly advises me not
to cease taking the medication but this is MY
body not his. I really would appreciate some
support and/or feedback. We all know how difficult
a disease this can be, and I'm sure I'm not the
only one who isolates from others. Thanks.
