I took Effexor for about 3 years and it worked wonders for me. Stick with it and whatever you do..........DO NOT JUST DECIDE TO COME OFF IT IT BECAUSE YOU THINK IT'S NOT WORKING. If you indeed are depressed you will not do any justice for yourself by coming off of the antidepprant as I did, you will just get more depressed. What you should do is see your doctor and the first thing I would do is increase your dosage of Effexor and maybe you would even want to add a mood stabilizer such as Depakote to keep your moods at an even keel.
