> ive been taking effexor since july of 99. so far its the only thing that has given me some sort of peace of mind. in the last 2 years ive tried prozac(made me manic), paxil(manic), zoloft(i didnt sleep for a week), wellbuitrin(didnt work),lithium(most awful experience of my life), depakote (worked really well for a while, then stopped), serzone (didnt work),neurontin(didnt work), pamelor(made me too sick), deseryl( didnt work)........and the list goes on.
> i had side effects when i started the effexor, i couldnt sleep, i have lost a good amount of weight, but other then that, i dont notice any problems. except for withdrawal symptoms. if i miss a dose, i get extremely anxious and paranoid. really disoriented. sometimes i experience depersonalization. all the symptomes go away when i take it again. i cant imagine life without effexor.


what dose are you on to be losing the weight. I was on Paxil and put on a bunch of pounds and am now on Effex. XR 150mg but the weight is not coming off -- yet. it's only been a month.
