Regular Effexor definatley supercharged me. Then I switched to XR and I feel much calmer, more balanced. It was wierd- when I first started reg Effexor, the tablet, half in the morning and half at night, I felt high and numb, deliriously happy yet calm. Then I crashed two weeks later after a wicked panic attack and had a spell of depression with alot of crying. I switched to XR and now I feel normal. I don't even feel like I'm on meds, except for the fact to do feel a little calmer, and not so irritable or depressed. I am having very vivid dreams too, not scary, but rather interesting really. I really can't have caffeine either. After one cup of tea, I get a panic attack. I think the XR really makes a difference because it slowly releases it throughout the day, whereas with the table it's an immediate fast release, so you get the ups and downs each time you take it.
