I was on Effexor for 4 years and I am half blind because of it . I had every side affect except the high blood presure. It chacnged my personality to hyper manic for 4 years and is physically addicting . It took me 5 months to get off it or I could have gone faster aand been sick as a dog. I feard for my life as one time off I had stroke symptoms. I know a gal that is dying from irriversable liver damage from it as it overworks the liver.
Just refuse the drug . I found a site called effexor petition that told me all the problems they weree having with the drug and Weth is getting sued big time.
It can kill you and its quickly addicting.

"To make a long post shorter, here are the facts. I use Effexor XR 75MG once a day. I also take Ambien 10MG at night. I've used Ambien for nine months and Effexor for eight months. Both have been great for me. I've had no side effects, but that's just me. Others might have side effects."
...and I couldn't agree more! I had some pretty rough anxiety, which helped lead to depression, and then couldn't sleep AT ALL! I was _extremely_ reluctant to seek any type of help but, after a LOT of nudging by friends and family I finally went to my family doctor. Long story short...he started me on 37.5mg/day for the first week and then up'd it to 75mg/day. During the first several weeks he gave me 10mg of Ambien (as needed). Hell, I think the Ambien did more for me than anything!!! I was FINALLY able to sleep...somtimes only 4 hours on some nights. That was some of the BEST darn rest I've had in years!!! The Dr. mentioned I could break the Ambiens in half if the 10mg was too much...so I would take 5mg when I went to bed and the other 5mg if I woke up at night. Getting a _SOLID_ 8+ hours of sleep...without feeling "groggy" in the mornings did wonders for the rest the day!!!As for the 75mg of Effexor XR a day...Lord help me if I ever forgot to take it 2 days in a row! If I didn't miss any doses, everything was fine and dandy. But, if I missed 2 doses/days...I felt like my head was swimming, was about to explode, I was always dizzy, and in general it felt like I was going to have a panic attack (at least as I understand them from other peoples descriptions...because I don't think I've _truely_ had one). All of this would start within 3 hours of missing the 2nd dose and quit about 4-5 hours after taking it again. I'd usually have to take one and lay on the bed for the 4-5 hours. I couldn't _wait_ to get off of it...especially since counselling was definately helping me in other ways! I expressed my concerns about how I felt missing doses so quitting "cold turkey" was NOT going to happen!!! He agreed to slowly back me off of it...alternating 75mg and 37.5mg, then eventually 37.5 mg/day, then 37.5mg every other day. I eventually got off it...with roughly 20 lbs added to my frame! LOL!!! But, everything (counselling, Effexor XR, and Ambein) _definately_ worked for me!
Glad to hear that it's working for Kodie too! Just beware be careful about coming off the Effexor XR too fast, you may experience the same feelings/things I did...and _that_ is not fun!

I've been on Effexor since 11/5/02, started at 300mg, took myself down to 150mg 14-15 months ago. Now I want off completely. Just can't stand the thought of having to depend on synthetic drugs, would like to maybe try something more natural, along with just managing my moods better. Any suggestions? I've talked to my doctor, who is drug-happy and they won't take me off them or wean me off. I refuse to be a slave to this stuff! Had the anger/rage issues when I missed 1 or 2 days, really scared of what might happen when I'm off completely. I usually end up in a corner crying. Had the alcoholic tendencies, the panic attacks are coming back. Please, anyone??

Hi there.
It is only natural to reject the idea of being tethered to a drug and dependent on it to function properly.
So you say you'd like to discontinue Effexor? There is a separate board dedicated to the discontinuation of medication and how to go about it. I use a flexible dosing method. Some people switch over to Prozac temporarily because it is easier to discontinue.
You might experience a rebound depressive episode when you discontinue Effexor too fast. In other words, you might experience a brief episode of depression that lasts a few days, then recover. However, if the trend is for the depression to get worse instead of better after you have been off of Effexor for a few weeks, it will be apparant that you still need some sort of supportive intervention.
There is no shame or character weakness to have to rely on medication to treat clinical depression. The brain gets stuck in a state of dysregulation, whether it be driven by the stress of psychological issues or in the absence of any stress at all. If you could think your way out of it on your own, you would have by now.
There is one thing to take into consideration when discontinuing an effective medication. Sometimes, after an extended period of not being medicated, the same drug is no longer effective. I can't provide you with any statistics, but the numbers are high. Be careful in your consideration of which directions you would like to take in your treatment. You might find the "Alterative" board here to be of help in defining "natural remedies"
Remember, modern pharmacology has its roots in the use of plants and animals as treatments. Ask yourself, what is "natural". I sometimes like to point out that it is the natural process of the evolution of man that he should learn how to cultivate wheat and use what is found in nature to synthesize the chemical compounds that are now used as medical treatments.

Hi .. You too also sound like you're feeling totally overwhelmed. Sometimes you have to get yourself 'admitted somehow' to a hospital. It's sad, but usually it takes 'suicidal tendencies' to get attention. Most Ps I've known won't even discuss helping you down to 'natural, non-synthetic alternatives'. But, some, PCPs/MDs are a little more open to discussing the option. Of course, if you've got the funds, you can go directly to a holistic doc', which was never an option for me. I have not been on babble long enough to give you much more advice. Personally, I had been on ADs so long that I have to remain on medication the rest of my life. But, I'm not on ADs anymore ... I'm on mood stabilizers. Another thing that has helped me has been my GYN doc ... raging or 'not enough' correct female hormones. Then there are your thyroid hormones, which for a lot of people here seem to be low. I am on daily dose of generic thyroid hormone which has helped. I hope you will get some more answers and options here. There are a lot of good people here to talk to and give you their opinions. Check the Withdrawal posts. Stay close to whomever gives you the most support. best wishes, cf

Excellent response. Possibly staying on the medication - or one of effective response - is exactly what one's body is calling for???
Also, there might be certain deficiencies - or excesses - involved with the body that still need to be addressed??? In other words, the medication was a stop gap measure to help with that deficiency or excess, but the bottom line "problem" still hasn't been addressed??
As an example, if someone has a serotonin deficiency, an SSRI medication should be greatly helpful, but really isn't increasing the serotonin levels (whereas supplementation with tryptophan / 5HTP would / should increase those levels).
Also, if there is a traumatic issue or stress situation behind the cause of the problem, it's likely that talk therapy, etc. (I personally am a big fan of EMDR) would be needed to correct the "core problem" prior to halting medications.
Or maybe it's a situation where one's HPA Axis has become dysfunctional and they are producing excessive cortisol. Excessive cortisol problems are directly involved in a significant number of anxiety and severe depression situations. The excessive cortisol actually "creates" (or "manufacturers") anxiety and severe depression... so getting the cortisol lowered and the HPA Axis re-set is vital to be able to successfully withdraw from medications that are being helpful (IMHO anyway!).

Cora, just curious, what mood stabilizer are you taking? I want to consider starting one on my next visit. I was thinking of Neurontin.
I have a fast metabolism, and even though I take Effexor XR, I dose 3 times daily. I'm up to 225 mgs for the last 3 days. I'm on day 43 in total.
I'm feeling some benefit, especially since I upped to 225, but I burn through it so fast, I sometimes wonder if that is not ultra fast cycling. I suspect it's just a super fast metabolism. Still, I'd like to give a mood stabilizer a try. I think it couldn't hurt. Was it you that used to dose multiple times a day?
Anybody have any thoughts on whether I should try Neurontin, or Depakote, or Lamictal? My Pdoc is pretty cool, and if I come to him with a suggestion that is reasonable, he's usually amenable to giving it a go.

Yep, I had to take two doses of Eff-XR a day, ... I metabolized so fast that late midday I would need another dose; I would feel the anxiety breaking through otherwise.
It was 'something to do w/ my Dad passing' that threw me into a frightening nervous breakdown earlier this year.
When in hospital, never having clear symptoms of bipolar, I revolted when they suggested mood stabilizers .. but then gave in, after they agreed w/ me and another P, to allow the long-acting benzo, Valium, instead of all the short-acting ones I had taken for so long. Needing anxiety relief was one of my main reasons for being on Effexor-XR as long as I was, and even w/ it, I still needed benzo help for anxiety.
I'm on Seroquel (two docs have said has less bad side effects than lithium or Depakote), taken only at bedtime for sleep and just 50-100 mg. I began on up to 200mg for sleep and also 25mg morn and 25mg noon. I lowered the bedtime amount. I axed the daytime doses as were too sedating. W/ the lowered amount, I'm not having a voraciously obscene appetite, bloated stomach, and am less fatigued.
And, the other one is Trileptal, 300mg morn and 300mg dinnertime. There is no sleepiness w/ it and like Neurontin, the amount of 300mg x2 a day is low.
I have been on Neurontin for back pain in the past when still on Effexor-XR, but only a maybe 200mg dose twice a day (I believe both this and Trileptal go up to like 2000mg or maybe more.) so did not notice any mood stabilization.
I think my co-pay was too high. Yes, that was the reason for the low dose and finally quitting it! Yep, I remember now, Value Options (my State plan) wouldn't put Neurontin on their formulary and I don't know if it is on the formulary now or not. I do know that Topamax is not, which is unfortunate, as I've heard good things about it!
Yep, I am hypomanic or bipolar II, if bipolar at all. The docs in the hospital had quite a time convincing me to try mood stabilizers! My dx matches borderline than bipolar. Racing thoughts was about all I could identify in the bipolar symptoms. But, in further talking w/ the docs and some other patients there, they are also treating borderline with mood stabilizers.
I tried Lamictal, when still on Effexor-XR, don't remember dosage, but I am thinking maybe it brought on headaches.
bestwishes, cf

Effexor helped the anxiety in some ways, but it didn't help me get to the root of the problem. In many ways, the side effects, and other neurological symptoms it created actually prevented me from making the best decisions for myself. It really did a number on my cognition, sleep and motivation which ended up making the anxiety worse.
First eat the best you can, then exercise, then take as few meds to get the symptoms under control. Then work with a counseller to improve the situation for the future.
What I found was that the meds almost forced me to let go of the future. This is great, but I found myself walking into many situations unprepared because of the fact that I was "letting go" of everything on effexor.
Oftentimes the doctors will want you on 10 times the amount that quells the symptoms in order to "prevent relapse", but I think that the lowest effective dose will prevent relapse more because then you've always got that psychological barganing chip that you can increase the dose if neccessary.

Thanks Cora. I suspect I'll ask for Neurontin or Trileptal to see if that'll help smooth out my Effexor experience.
As far as AD's go, Effexor has the fewest side effects of them all for me so far. Today is my third day on 225, so maybe I'll see some side effects for another day or two. I usually get them from days 2 thru 5 or so on a new dose.
I've been depressed for a very long time. This was seeming like a last ditch effort. I've been taking Effexor XR for 6 and a half weeks now.
Anyway, thanks for the info. Are you well and in remission these days?

I am in the middle of switching from Paxil to Effexor XR. A few months ago, a psychiatrist gave me a prescription for Remeron 15 mg. I am still a little groggy in the mornings from it, but for the first time in quite a while (years), I sleep the whole night. I tried Ambien and it didn't help. So Remeron, to me, is a Godsend. It turns my brain off at night so I can sleep.
I have read the posts on Effexor XR and alcohol. While on Paxil, I drank a lot more than I ever have in my entire life. And I behaved badly while drinking and on Paxil. I am not looking for a scapegoat or release of responsibility for my bad behavior, no. I do find it interesting that others have experienced the same thing. (I am not alone in this!)
So far, the Effexor XR side effects are not bothersome and withdrawing from the Paxil has not been noticeable. I did have a headache for about 24 hours but that could not even be related.
Thanks for your posts.

I was on it for almost a year at 300 mg and it did a great job. But then as most anti-depressants do with me, it started to poop out. So my pdoc raised it to 375 mg and it made me hypomanic so I eventually. Unlike the majority of people here, I had no problems coming off the med. I did it slowly and suffered no ill effects. I went right to Prozac after that.

I know what you are saying. I have been on Effexor XR for about a month now. And I have had no side effects to date. So far so good. The only thing I have noticed is not sleeping as well, and I have no tast for alcohol anymore. I used to drink a lot and then quite, and then I would just drink occasionally with friends and at parties. Now it is almost like I am always just "not in the mood" for alcohol. Strange, not that I mind, but strange.

I have been on Effexor XR for over one week. Now I am up to 150 mg from 75 mg. Not tired at all but feel a little wired. No naseau - instead, I am hungry all the time. Starting to notice that things don't bother me at all; kinda of a "I really don't care" attitude. Off of the Paxil completely w/o side effects except I like red wine again and in very moderate consumption (!)
Interesting how different drugs affect different people.

Hi Elroy -
Multiple trauma in my life!!! Could talk a year about these experiences ... and really wonder if my mind is so powerful that I can 'undo' fright, fear, learned behavior.
I am interested in learning more about EMDR. I do find DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy - in case someone else doesn't know what I mean) only helped me a little bit, and it was intensive for six months.
When you said ...
'Or maybe it's a situation where one's HPA Axis has become dysfunctional and they are producing excessive cortisol. Excessive cortisol problems are directly involved in a significant number of anxiety and severe depression situations. The excessive cortisol actually "creates" (or "manufacturers") anxiety and severe depression... so getting the cortisol lowered and the HPA Axis re-set is vital to be able to successfully withdraw from medications that are being helpful (IMHO anyway!).'
... you really lost me! What are you saying here? I'm interested; but it's over my head!
