2Sense:

Today was my first day at 75 after 1 week on 37.5. I've noticed a difference from Day 1. But Effexor is all that I'm taking. I feel emotionally insulated. I'm not anxious. But I'm also not taking Welbutrin, which stimulated me, or Ritilin, which is also a stimulant. All those stimulants may be counter-acting the calming effect some of us experience on Effexor. Don't just rely on the meds, go out & do something nice for yourself. I had a surprisingly good time last weekend just going to see Finding Nemo with my 14-year-old son.

Good luck, Kim


> I started Effexor XR @ 37.5/day last Saturday, 5-31. Today is my 7th day. I have had all the side effects described above plus all the sexual side effects. I'm already on Wellbutrin, T3(low, low dose)/T4 for Hashimoto's-hypothyroid, Ritalin for AD/HD ...my pdoc is good and says the dose is too low too soon for me to see a change.
