I've had Effexor-XR effect/affect(someone pls tell me which is correct grammar) has worked and hasn't worked for me in past, prob' 4-5 times.
I think our body's chemical makeup, is effects/affects(?) how an AD will work in us. That's my only hypothesis. Like women and menstrual periods fluctuating re: time changes, different stressors; factors that change our chemical makeups. They seem to change the way an AD will or will not work, in me. My 'therapeutic window' must be small.
And, I know 'I pee out' a lot of Effexor-XR and I pee a lot. (U can smell it! Gross!)
I'm taking 150mg XR in a.m., but by bedtime and especially upon awakening I am soooo depressed I don't want to get out of bed!
I really think the dang thing needs to be taken twice a day. Prob' another 150 in p.m.
And there's another drawback in taking an AD for me, .. my libido flys directly out the window! That su*ks big time.
Sooo, do I take a big dose of an AD or do I try and get along w/o an AD at all.(?)
Might Luvox work the same for you?
I've been off and on all classes of ADs for 30yrs. Maybe 'I'm nonresponsive or have built a tolerance to ADs'. If that's the case, why fill my body with them? I dunno. It's a toss up!?
I do believe one thing ... ADs do lead to suicidal ideation in me. W/o one, I don't get nearly as much suicidal ideation.
