I was on Effexor a few years back. I had mild depression and the Effexor was effective in treating it. After two year4s, I felt much better and also felt I hit a plateau as to the overall effectiveness of the Effexor. I slowly withdrew and after several weeks of bothersome withdrawal, I was able to stop. I have been off any kind of meds for several years.
I now find that my sadness is returning and had been trying to see if I will feel better in time without medication, but decided now that I should try medis again. I do not want to take Effexor because of the withdrawal symptoms. Is there another medication that others have used here that are effective and have milder withdrawal symptoms? Thanks in advance.
