In reply to Anyone had success on Effexor XR? , posted by jp on October 24, 1999, at 14:59:14
My journey started around 1997 when I first started taking antidepressants, the first one being Prozac. It stopped working and I have tried many different ones until this latest one, Effexor. They all seem to work at first, then after a few months my symptoms actually get worse. More depressed, more irritable, etc. I really just need something for anxiety more than for depression. I'm so irritable and impatient and intolerant when I'm not on anything that my family can't stand to be around me! Does anyone have any suggestions what I can try after I wean myself off of Effexor? I will go back to my doc and get his input, but they really have no idea about these drugs. When I went on the Effexor I told him my 2 biggest concerns as far as side effects were sexual dysfunction and sleeping too much. Well Hello! Sleeping too much seems to be a major problem with lots of people on this drug. Anyway, any help you can give me would be appreciated. I have learned alot from these postings and I appreciate the time everyone has taken in this venture. Thanks and peace/happiness to all!
