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.

Viibryd and Dopamine
I had been trying to switch to Viibryd from
Effexor
. I had made it about 3 weeks when everything went down in flames. Anxious beyond measure and fast heart rate. Just a 24/7 anxiety show. My doctor said she has had patients do well for a few weeks then it stops working if it’s not a good fit.

How do you "break" your hyperfocus when you need to do other tasks?
I have been taking
effexor
for a while now but knew there was something else going on that the medication wasn't helping with. My anxiety was under control, but i was still constantly overwhelmed, highly emotional and would lose things/ distracted/hyperfocus like crazy on certain things.

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

Is it just me?
When I was first diagnosed in 03 I was put on
Effexor
and for the first time in a long time my mind was clear and quiet! I tried to explain it to my therapist but it is hard to put into words! Only when I have loud (rock) music on is my mind quiet!

Hot Flashes
My MO prescribed
Effexor
to control the hot flashes, but upon learning it’s an anti-depressant, I am reluctant to take it. I already have enough issues without the potential side effects from an anti-depressant.
