In reply to Effexor or Prozac, posted by LPranger on November 22, 2004, at 19:07:13
no way to tell, LPranger! Depends on what else you're taking, your own individual biochemistry, what you've ever tried before, etc. I can personally tell you that Prozac worked great for me until it pooped out. Effexor, despite it's reputation for weight loss, made me immediately gain weight.
Effexor has serious withdrawal when stopped suddenly, whereas Prozac tapers itself since it's metabolized much more slowly.
And, with deference to Glydin (grin), you pretty much have to rely on your doctor to tell you the answer.
