> I'm on 10mg of lexapro & I've been on 37.50 effexor for 2 weeks and the doc just upped effexor to 75mg for 3 days. When can I expect to feel any results? I'm so depressed and feel hopeless. My anxiety is settled a bit but the depression is BAD? I'm just wondering if this is supposed to work yet?
When I first started on Effexor I noticed a distinct difference within about 10 days. I switched to it from Prozac though. I noticed I slept better and had less pain and much less anxiety within just a week or two. I don't know about the depression aspect - since I switched directly from Prozac to Effexor, I never dropped back down into deep depression.
Hope this helps a little.
