>Hi, there!
Good for you! Read an earlier post that I wrote re: take the lowest dose that does the job with the fewest side effects! I always felt drugged on Effexor, no matter the dose. It sure helped my chronic pain and anxiety, however. Maybe I felt drugged because of the sleep apnea that I've JUST been diagnosed as having. I seem exceedingly sensitive to the "sedative" like side effects of most medications. I have had to take stimulants off and on for years. Maybe that's because of the sleep apnea, too.
Cheers,
jannbeauI'm happy you have found a dose that seems right for you.
well, it's weird. I have reduced my meds to about 150 of the Effexor, and all of a sudden I feel fine. I'm suspicious of feeling fine, but I do. I'm going to see how I fee a month from now too! Let's see how this works out!
