It is written here that one wants to hear the good, the bad and the ugly ...from all of you..].
Be advised, that I am prevented by the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr Hsiung from posting what I think could save lives, prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions.
So what could that mean to you? It could mean that you could be denied of knowing facts from me, fats that IMHO could mark the difference between you being a live person or a corpse. And if the drugs do not kill you, you could become a person that has their judgment so impaired from the drugs so that you could be easily manipulated by others. You could also have what in your bran tells you what is right and what is wrong destroyed by the drugs so that you could think that suicide and/or murder is what you should do. And the addiction from these drugs could be worse than heroine to withdrawal from. And all the time the television sells these drugs by people smiling while a commentator says while music is playing all what could happen to you if you do take the drug. Why is there music playing? Are the people just actors? Why is not the commercial balanced with people that have tardive dyskinesia from taking the drug, and addiction, and show the dead bodies of those that killed themselves while on the drug that had no suicidal tendencies before they were given the drug? Why am I prohibited by Mr Hsiung from showing the historical development of these drugs during a time period that Mr Hsiung prohibits me from referring to? If you knew what I knew, you could make a more-informed decision as to take these drugs or not. And since you are prevented from hearing from me all these things, IMHHO you could die before you find the "right" drugs for you, if there is any such thing.
Here are some facts about Effexor. I am so sorry that I can not post here what I think could save your life.

I took a low dose (75mgs) for issues way back when. It was OK. Withdrawal was not problematic. I would imagine that the higher doses, where you start affecting multiple receptor sites, could be more effective, but also potentially cause more problems (and more problems in withdrawal).
What problems are you trying to address? The combo of Effexor XR in the AM and Remeron PM ("California Rocket Fuel") has been studied. Apparently, its as effective as Parnate, at least on the aggregate level, with fewer (and probably less dangerous) side effects.
Good luck to you!

I know quite a few from the old days on babble where they did well on Effexor. One friend from here on facebook still takes it and works well for her. Phillipa
