I have not been on the board for a month and thought it might help some to give an update.
I have been on Effexor since July (225mg). I just recently started Remerol for increasing libido.
I have had great success on Effexor and wish that I went in for help 12 yrs ago. I have no depression and an 80% reduction in anxiety (the remerol also works on anxiety).
Yes, I went through very uncomfortable side effects for the first 2 months with each increase in dosage. Effexor has now become a normal routine in my life and has helped me tremendously. I will stay on this drug until my Doctor recommends differently.
My only side effect is a decrease in libido.
I hope this post will help some of you just starting out. Not everyone responds the same but give the drug a chance before tossing it.
Good Luck!!!
