> St. John's Wort and another over the counter remedy, SAM-e, give head exploding headaches to me, especially if I mix them with any kind of anti-depressant. Also, Effexor was impossible for me to take until they came out with Effexor XR (extended release) several years ago. I hope your doctor has you on the XR kind.
Yes, my docter does have me on effexor Xr. My Se's seem to be getting better, however, I am not sleeping very well at night. I go to bed tired, but seem like my mind just wonders and I never really fall assleep. I am weaning myself off of St. John's wort. Today i haven't taken any. I will see how I feel. Although my doc wants me to increase to 75mg today of Effexor Xr. What dose do you take? What types of SE did you have going to the next dose?
