Been a while
I’m also on
Effexor
, 225 mg, which she feels could be effecting my blood pressure, so I am also in the process of tapering it back to 150 mg. In the last 2 weeks I have been feeling worse.

Another one of those days
I’ve been on
Effexor
for a few years. It gave me asthesia. I know I’ve got so many things to be grateful for. I have a loving daughter, her grandparents are such a huge support. Today I took my daughter to the dermatologist for a routine appt.

Effexor
Anyone else taking this for depression? Is it helping? (sorry if I spelled it wrong)

Allow me to introduce myself.
I recently changed medications from 150 mg of
Effexor
XR to 20 mg of Viibryd and even more recently, changed my rescue medication from 1 mg of Ativan, which during bad periods (pretty much the last two months) I've had to take up to 3 times a day to control my symptoms to even a tolerable level.

Quetiapine
Saw my doc yesterday because I was feeling that my
Effexor
was no longer working and my depression was getting worse. He upped my dosage and also put me on 25mg of Quetiapine. Has anyone else ever been on this? Did it help? How did it make you feel? Any side effects?

Figuring out if Effexor is right for me...
I’ve been in
Effexor
for 2 weeks after having a horrible time on Prozac. I was on Prozac for a month and a half and got extremely depressed and suicidal. My doctor started me on
Effexor
and my depression went away right away. My anxiety has been horrible though. And today was the worst.

Panic attacks are ruining my life. The meds I take do not help. Escitalopram, Effexor, Modafinil (for excess sleeping) and Venlafaxine.
Meds are not helping panic attacks

Can i ever be happy and enjoy my life?
Effexor
and Lithium kept me happy and stable Until last week, i became severely ill with Influenza B and was bedridden for 8 days. I had never been so sick in my life before and the effects are still with me. My depression has returned, the sadness, the nervous stomach, the fears.

Effexor

So much depression in waves
I was on
Effexor
for ten years. Went off it slowly with doctor advice and have been officially clean of it for 5 months now. The first couple months were horrible, but I still get these feelings in waves.

New and Needed a New Outlet
That is where they put me on
Effexor
XR. By the time I was out I was on 300 mg of it. I was also seeing a psychotherapist. It was going well. But again, I stopped seeing him and stopped taking my medication. I stayed with the abusive man. We had one more child together.

Enough is enough
So far he is has increased my dosage of
Effexor
2 125 and has prescribed me lorazepam.05 for any future anxiety attacks. I really feel like I'm suffering in my own head at this point and I am hoping that this was the right course of action to make this go away.

Advice?
For the past three years I’ve been on
Effexor
, an anti-anxiety and anti-depressant but it caused me to gain a lot of weight. So I weaned off of it but I think I was kinda of naïve in thinking things would go back to normal. I have crying spells and I can’t find happiness in things I used to.
