Hi...I just started effexor a week ago and am not too familiar with it as my Dr. did not go into much detail. He told me to take 37.5 mgs for a week and if I did not feel better to keep increasing it each week but yet others tell me that it can take up to six weeks to notice changes...not a week. My Dr. was not very informative at all and I am venturing to find a new one. Could you please enlighten me as to the pros and cons of this med. I've stuggled with depression off and on for years and this is the 6th med that I am trying. I went without meds for years because I did not feel taking pills was the answer. I was totally relying on my faith but then I got worse so I had to go on something! Anyone else feel the same? Thank's in advance for your advice. God Bless...Ssunflower

Sorry if it's confusing here, but Psycho-Babble is the board for medication-related issues. Here's a link:
