In reply to New to Effexor - prescribed for increasing energy, posted by New on April 22, 2003, at 17:35:53
I would definitely stick with it. While I had some signs of depression, mostly I was just tired. Then I started taking the Effexor and it has helped so much in the energy area especially. I used to get home, watch some tv, then something else and avoid anything I had to do. Now I'm up at 6 every morning and heading to the gym and after that, having a really great energetic day. 5 weeks would be a nice start and see what happens. I saw results within 2 weeks and just like any meds, these may make you tired, but for some of us, they really help. it's all in how your body responds. Good luck and keep us posted.
