Thanks for sharing this experience with me! May I ask what dosages of Effexor was effective for you?
Thanks,
Silly> i have tried prozac, paxil, celexa, lithium, valproate and the tca's plus many more. i have had depression since i was 11 and i am actually diaganosed with bipolar.
> the ssris helped me a bit but i was still unable to lead a normal life- i was apathetic and still had many symptoms.
> for me effexor really worked. i was up and about and even held down a job. my doc says that effexor really helps thoes with add as well, which i suffer from. withdrawal is hard but it is possible if u do it slowly. i think it may be worth a try
> good luck
