Lowering my Effexor and geodon
Now I am only taking 75
Effexor
and 40 geodon and 150 topomax. Mgs that is. Hopefully when I’m stable on that dose I won’t feel bad from the side effects. The side effects were making me feel bad.

Prozac with Effexor prescription
I recently had my prescription changed from 40 mg Prozac to 20 mg Prozac and 150 mg
Effexor
. I’ve always responded well to Prozac in the past but I had a stressful situation come up that made my medication not work anymore .

Cross Tapering Experience with Antidepressants
After 20-plus years taking
Effexor
for depression, with decreasing effectiveness lately, my psychiatrist has recommended cross-tapering from this drug to Zoloft.

My doctor started me on
Effexor
37.5mg and to titrate up to 75mg after a week. Has anyone experienced these? They are so distressing and I feel like I can’t be near my family in fear of these horrible thoughts.

Weaning off Effexor
I've been on
Effexor
for over 10 years with great success. However, I recently saw my Sleep doc who thinks that it may be causing my PLMD, which in turn can make me cranky and edgy during the day. He has recommended that I try and reduce my dose of
Effexor
from 300mg/day.

Has anyone tried Effexor?
Effexor
is also known as “Venlaflaxine” for depression/anxiety. One dose per day. I am starting on the lowest dose later and would like to hear how it worked for others.

Effexor ER and Wellbutrin - Feel worse before better? One week in.
Im one week into
effexor
and wellbutrin and feel worse. I know it takes time but could they possible make me feel worse first? Can barely hold it together at work, have zero motivation, and for whatever reasons on the verge of tears. Good times...

Effexor ER at 300mg each day
I was taking 225mg of
Effexor
ER and my psychiatrist just increased my dose to 300 mg with 150 in the am and 150 in the pm. I'm concerned because every reputable site I could find on the internet listed 225 mg as the maximum dose per day of
Effexor
ER.

Long term medication
I've taken
effexor
and propranolol for over 20 years. I don't even know if I still need this medication. Is anyone else in this situation?

How many meds before one works??
Just started
Effexor
and Trintellix, last night was restless to say the least. I’m so tired physically, emotionally and mentally. Does anyone else take these meds, how do you feel after the first couple of weeks? Is this worth it?

Serotonin Syndrome fear
My concern is that I am being slowly weaned off
Effexor
and taking a low dose of Prozac. I worry about serotonin syndrome. Anyone with any experience with this. They say it is not safe to just stop the
Effexor
. I won’t be speaking to psychiatrist again till Monday.

Situational anxiety
I take
Effexor
& I do have Ativan, although even .5mg knocks me out for an entire day. I don’t want to be falling asleep on my horse! I was thinking of trying .25 before I go to bed.

Tolerance withdrawal from Klonopin
Anyway, should I try Buspar or
Effexor
? I would love to take something beside a Benzo and feel normal so I can be free. I feel that my anxiety now is rebound anxiety from the Klonopin. Please ADVISE!! I don't know what to do and my Psych Dr. is really clueless.
