Trevilor seems to be in Germany what Effexor is in the USA. Please excuse inaccurate terminology because I'm neither a shrink nor is English my native tongue :p
Reasons I'm taking it: Possible Adult Attention Deficit Disorder/Syndrome (ADD/ADS), Impulse Control Weakness (umm, I literally translated that), increasing anxienty over the past year(s), general lack of energy and motivation to DO something.
Dosis: 75 mg once a day.
Anyhow. I'm on it for the second day now, feelin' a little woozy, but energetic. I am concerned about Serotonin Syndrome; and while energetic, I also realize that it might actually be counter-rpoductive, because I had a hard time reading the stuff you are quizzed on for the registration (I actually got up and just turned back at the door before I could leave the house to do something else).
I know that after two days, one can't say anything yet; especially as my previous therapy with Edronax (reboxetine) turned out EXTREMELY nasty physically and emotionally after a few months (but after showing awesome initial results), when the stuff was just wreaking havoc to my mind (I even changed my own name; I really wasn't myself anymore).
Positive effects noticed: Amazingly, I slept very very well this night (somewhat intense dreams, with very faint visions of gore and blood - former girlfriend of mine was on Effexor and had lots of odd, gore-loaded dreams, as well).
More importantly, I woke up at 7:30 and wanted to get up! (gah. my bed was so comfy so I slept another two hours, should have gotten up) Usually, I don't want to get up at all; so that's already a noticeable improvement.I just went outside and noticed what has to be definitely a novum:
THE WORLD IS $§$@%! MORE COLORFUL.
I live in this place for a year and a half now, and I never realized the house down the street was RED, I always considered it kinda brownish, and overall, NOT PRETTY. Same goes for other houses in the street, as well as red traffic signs. I never realized the number on our house here was red, as well! Blaze orange circus posters on main street are so bright, they almost hurt my eyes. Same goes for the garbage truck workers in front of my house...Wheee. 'You can tell that you're on drugs when you keep dropping the joint into your beer' :p Sorta. I like it, because I'm apparently not just existing in an abstract reality that is just defined by shapes and lines anymore, but the colour component does add a lot to the way I perceive my surroundings.
It has to be said that I have deuteranomalia, i.e. I have trouble distinguishing greens (and reds in my opinion, though an army test seemed to show otherwise)...
