> > > I have been taking effexor for almost a week now. I have took paxil and celexa and after two years they both quit working . I really hope this helps. I have suffered with depression since childhood and only the last five years have I been diagnosed with a chemical inbalance and anxiety. I would appreciate any encouragement on effexor. Thank you,

> > I start taking 75mg of effexor tomorrow morning. I had a very bad nightmare last night. I hope its not caused from the effexor. I'm kind of afraid to go to sleep tonight. I go back to the doctor a week from today. I really hope this works. Terry
> Terry, I wish I could have nightmares! My sleep is really disturbed right now, and I have always enjoyed dreaming (even nightmares) because my dreams are in color, I can change their outcomes (I have "lucid dreams" and if I don't like what's happening, I can change it while I'm dreaming), and it's better than TV. Unfortunately, I hardly ever remember my dreams, because my sleep is so interrupted now. Hang in there! Hope Effexor-XR works for you (it works great for me except for the interference with sleep).I have been on 75 mg of effexor for 2 days now, and I am feeling so good. Its like a new door opened up for me. Thanks for all of your support it has meant so much to me. The nightmares have quit and I am sleeping really well. I hope it last. thanks again. Terry
