In reply to Anyone experience occasional deep dips?, posted by Lisa J on September 27, 2004, at 18:59:29
Hi Lisa J,
Oh yes, I know those deep dips all too well. I can even experience them as often as daily. I also take Effexor Xr, 350mg., but I also take a mood stabilizer, Zonegran, which has GREATLY stabilized those dips in my mood, and has led to longer and longer periods between dips. What is your diagnosis? Even though you might not experience "highs" such as true mania, sometimes a mood stabilizer helps even out those huge dips down in mood, especially if they are REALLY anxious depressions, where it gets very hard to function or makes life miserable. Or, you might just need some time for the higher dose of Effexor to kick in.
Hang in there,
Sooshi
