Effexor differs on everyone. I, myself have been on it for a few years, and I love it. I no longer have real depression or panic attacks. It is good to get a psychologist to talk about stress relieving stratigies. Take care.

DONT TAKE IT someone i know was a rep for it and all anti depressants have so many more side effects than they're worth, you rbetter of taking some days off work
doctors just prescibe evrything they can, they make money off it

I was on it but I was on another pill at the time too I started on one to help me pay attention and for my impusive behaviour and I was fine then I started taking effexor for depression and I was always sleepy and It made me very delusional. Could of been the two pills Combined though.

any time a person is sick if they can have something focus their thoughts away from feeling bad they call it medcine, when medicine makes me feel better it is just=, me giving someone a job becuase i wonder why i was born here and people act like they no all about everythin by not letting any one live like a cave man becuase they want to get something from an area, when it should just be used to look at not like a christmas present,so just me not having to be a worry to any one made medicine work for me

I have been on it since july last year. I love it. It was so helpful. take it as perscribed though. I think you should just give it a shot. I'm sorry you are going though a bad time right now. I hope this helps you and talking to someone will help to hun. Hang in there and keep your chin up. If you need to talk i'm here for you.

My ex use to take it , it was the only thing that helped, it worked wonders for him , it is worth a try for sure!!!

My ex-wife's husband, who is a friend of mine just stopped taking it. He said for the first few months it seemed to work ok but lately it has been really messing with his head so he weened himself off it and went back on Prozac.

Here is a link that will give you good info on it.

The trouble with it is that it won't make life any better it just helps you not react to what is going wrong
