I'll be extremely wired for maybe 2 days, then depressed and feel like crying over nothing for about a day, then I'll feel like I'm on extacy and just coasting and glowing for about a day or two.

I am also taking effexor 75mg three times daily and clonazepam 1/2 of .5mg three times daily. I have been on this regime for about 6 weeks. I started to feel good for the first time in months. I also noticed a feeling a being wired. I would get lots of thing done around the house. This normal good, wired feeling only lasted for less than a month and now I have gone back down to feeling the way I did before. With anxiety and depression. More of the depression, I think the clonazepam is helping somehat with the anxiety. But I am very baffled. I did go back to my pdoc after about 10 days of feeling bad, and he told me to wait it out 3 or 4 more weeks. Then maybe will talk about switching to paxil, which I have never tried. Oh yeah the crying thing, everyday, my husband just expects it now. Don't know if any of this helps, but at least your not alone in how your feeling on these meds.dmiller
