Hello! I've had great success on Effexor XR but before you should take it you should know it has a reputation for being the HARDEST drug to stop taking. The withdrawal symptoms are extremely painful.
If you're having problems paying for Effexor XR then you should ask your doctor about the Patient Assistance Program offered by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. I read on the web yesterday that Wyeth is already fighting a bid by Teva Pharmaceuticals to begin manufacturing the drug when the patent expires in June of 2008. Wyeth and Teva reached a compromise which says the generic will be launched in 2010. So there is a long time to go yet. Although I'll be chided for this I would suggest going to www.inhousepharmacy.com and ordering the generic Effexor XR made in India (called Venlor XR). Just as good.
