In reply to EFFEXOR second time round.... help plse.., posted by crazychickuk on August 15, 2004, at 12:30:58
Hi Donna, I tihnk that it's great that you're willing tro try effexor again, it's telling because I tihnk you're brave to take that step forward... perhaps try a low low dose of Effexor /w a beta blocker and a little valium... Another option is Cymbalta, thought i'm not sure when it's hitting you folks in the UK. I hope it works out for you!
