I just completed a change over from paxil cr 75 mg per day to effexor. I was on paxil for 8 years and hit the max dose and still having anxiety/ depression symptoms. I also suffer from GAD with my depression. Pdoc changed me over to effexor. I went from one 37.5 to day to two, and felt no depression/ and no anxiety! It was great! I felt this way for 2 weeks. All of a sudden, Crash!. I'm depressed again. This time though, I have no Anxiety that usually hangs out with my depression, just the depression. What happened?
I'm supposed to be on a total of 150 mg of this stuff, I just booted myself up to 125 mg of the effexor a couple of days ago, but I am scared that its not going to work to alieveiate(sp) the depressive symptoms like it did the anxiety symptoms.... This is scary... How long should I wait to go to the Dr. to tell them, hey this isint working!!
