Hi, guys!
I switched from Effexor to Aurorix
a month ago and am now taking it at a dosage of 600 mg daily (only for past three days). Before I increased the dosage, I was taking 300mg daily, then almost ran out of medicine for few days which made me reduce the dosage to 150mg.As I said, I switched from Effexor. It isn't the first time I am stopping with Effexor; it made me less depresses but also "numb", it also made
my mood swing: for two weeks I would feel not good but also not so bad and this period would beregularlly followed by a period of depressed state running also for around two weeks.
But the interesting thing in my case is, that when stopping with Effexor it makes unpleasant redrawing effects for few days, not to severe, but then follows a time of depression lift-off,
which takes for few weeks. And what a lift-off that is for me; interested in everything, with positive emotions back - that I wasn't able to reach with any of my medications so far (Zoloft, Effexor, Edronax). Days were brigt and full of color.
I found a similar report from someone on this phorum few months ago.
Anyway, this period of lift-off is always beeing ended like cutting with knife; I wake up in the morning and find my self back in hell.
So, I am taking Moclobemide (Aurorix) now.
How long does it take, to get a response from it?
As I mentioned, last month was quite OK for me,
but can't distinguish wether it is because of starting Aurorix, ending with Effexor or both.
Anyway, I am interested in your experience from Aurorix, when did it start to "kick in" and at what dosage.
I am also curious if someone else had similar results with Effexor redrawl described above
and which of the medicine suited you most after?Thank you for all your answers and advice!
