Hello,
I have been on Effexor for about 6 years for depression and anxiety. If works wonders for me. It takes away all those obsessive thoughts and makes me much more relaxed.
The negative side...I have gained weight, I get night sweats and if I forget to take my medication I get horrible side effects (mini-explosion feeling in my head, nausea, headache, dizziness). That's minor though compared to what I used to feel without Effexor.
Good luck.
Joelle
> I just started taking effexor xr today for Panic Disorder. I am a little nervous (imagine that) about the side effects and withdrawl. I believe that I have this due to a low seratonin level. Has anyone else taken effexor for this? And if so, how long should I remain on it?
