I have had a very positive experience with Effexor, as far as the depression goes. I've been taking 300 mg Effexor XR daily for three months. I can stand to miss one day with little effect. However, after missing two I get a tingly sensation inside my head and dizziness. I also get very detailed dreams during withdrawal. Earlier in my experience with Effexor, I missed three days in a row and on the third day I had continuous suicidal ideation although with no intent to carry it out. My doc says not stop the meds suddenly and many docs will have samples that they could give to get you through a day or two (or more) when you need it and can't get it any other way.
