In reply to Effexor XR does it really work?, posted by Michele on May 18, 2000, at 10:24:27
Michele:
I found the XR formulation less effective than the regular immediate release tablets used twice a day. My theory is the immediate release flips on the right chemical switches, and they stay on for a good while. The XR formula just does it in slow motion.
I believe immediate release formula takes better advantage of the pharmacodynamic potential of the drug...how it actually affects your brain.
The side effect I have from both formulas is an increase in diastolic blood pressure.
