Effexor XR / Venlafaxine
I started on 75mlg of
Effexor
XR first of August, things were going GREAT for about 2 1/2 weeks. (I feel like this could of been a placebo affect, as I know it wouldn't be fully in my system that quick) I was upped to 150 mlg and then my anxiety came back.

Back after a long hiatus
I currently am on a 220 dose of
effexor
every day. It helps, but only so much. I have an extensive in patient history and diagnosis of PTSD and MDD and GAD, enough to warrant the prescription of more serious medications. I find that the
effexor
only brings me to a bare minimum of functionality.

Memory and psychiatrist appointment
I don’t want to take the
Effexor

Effexor
will raise it. I couldn’t even think during most the appointment because I just have to keep reliving the same shit over and over.

Effexor and high blood pressure. 😥
The
effexor
is suspect. I was doing really good on this medicine and now this. My psychiatrist took me off of the
effexor
and put me back on the Sertraline, the one that stopped working for me after 25 years of taking it. What are your thoughts please?

Added extra dose of Effexor & Busprione, but felt WORSE!
Have been on
Effexor
150mg & my doctor prescribed a higher dose of
Effexor
and adding buspirone. I felt absolutely horrible once I started taking the new meds. I felt terrible doom upon waking. The doctor said to stop taking the new meds.

CBD & Anxiety?
I was in
Effexor
for about 15 years and I decided that I wanted to try something more natural so I weaned off of it about 6 months ago. I was doing ok until about a month or two ago. All of my symptoms came back in full force. I finally went and purchased CBD gummies yesterday.

Feeling Better with new medication
I started using
Effexor
ER and my Xanax 1.0. It had made a big difference in my mood and I have the energy to do the things I never wanted to do. I am so happy something is actually working.

Struggling here with little support
I was put on mirtazpine in 2020 along with 75mg
Effexor
in am . The mirtazpine had caused more issues than any, and I’ve managed , over two years , to get down from 30mg to 15mg . Believe me , every tiny reduction causes absolute awful first thing in Morning anxiety and fear .

Zapping My Way Down On Effexor
Started another drop the other day on my way to find an ideal level on the
Effexor
. I started the drop last fall when I went from 375mg down to 225 but I had to put a halt to it when I tried 150.

Switch meds
My journey on switching from
Effexor
to viibryd has not been pleasant. I have been going on a month now since I first started the switch and about 3 weeks since I totally stopped my
Effexor
and taking just viibryd.
