Hello,
I am new to this post and I would like some feedback on my current position.
Has anyone ever been on 300mg Effexor XR? I have been on it since March '01. At the beginning I felt great, no anxiety or obsessive thinking about my health. Then the obsessive thinking came back and some days I am still very depressed.
I have also been on Prozac ('90 - '95) before I changed to Effexor and then Effexor XR. With the Prozac I did not have recurring obsessive thinking or depression. I was very tired, however, which is why I changed meds.
Could this medication not be the right one for me?
Thanks for your input.
Jocor

I've been on it since September or October, and find that I still get bouts of improvement. Talk to your doctor, you may decide to increase the dosage.
I don't know much about OCD. But someone might be able to recommend something that has helped them or do a search and you should get some useful information.
I'm also seeing a psychologist and find the combination works.
