Has anyone taken the antidepressant Efexor? How was it? How did your Dr determine what dosage to take?

I took it after I had breast cancer. I was on Tamoxifan for 5 yrs and it helps relieve the hot flashes. It helped me and I didn't have any side effects. 🥊

I've tried Effexor, another SNRI and numerous SSRI meds. All caused significantly worse tremors. I had to stop.

Did it help you with depression and anxiety?

I was given three x 150 mg per day and I worked it down to three x 37,5 mg per day. not very scientific. just wanted the minimum that would still be effective. didn't help with tremors but helped with anxiety.
