I'm in the US. I'm waiting to hear back from Wyeth on patient assistance. That would be good for 1 year, and then I might be able to reapply for another year. I would need that because I will be in school. Also, it just occurred to me that the XR will become generic next summer (2010) as well.
The clinic suggested possibly replacing Effexor with something cheaper, but I'm hoping Wyeth accepts me for patient assistance....I don't see why they wouldn't.
The only other reason why I would have considered going off of Effexor (and keeping Lamictal) is because I've been on it now for 3 and a half years. I don't know if it's even doing anything. I'm pretty sure Lamictal is working though.
