In reply to Anyone out there just start Effexor XR?, posted by lg929 on October 10, 2003, at 14:03:05
I've gone through the entire life cycle of Effexor, almost. Experiencing *morning" sickness, hearing horror stores, being reborn as a person, seeing and experiencing life in ways previously unknown, and now having to quit because of heart problems.
Judge by your own experience and don't expect immediate results. Combat insomnia with Benedryl or Trazadone. I had good results with Paxil years ago and Effexor seemed better than Paxil to me. Depends on how your brain is wired.
Good Luck,

> I just started to take effexor. My doctor prescribed effexor XR, and with that, I am being weened off from Paxil. It's only been 7 days now of the lower dose...tomorrow I start with the whole dose. I don't feel too different except that I feel more like doing things. I was pretty depressed a few weeks ago sleeping ALL the time. Not so good when you're a mother of 3, going to school and going through a divorce at the same time. I felt utterly hopeless. I need some reassurance -L
