Effexor and positive responses (encouragement)....

Posted by itisme on July 24, 2001, at 11:06:27

Anxiety began 1 year ago and man.. you just get depressed when you are nervous all the time and can't seem to do what you used to you know? I just got off of paxil and began effexor a week and a half ago. It was a very tough week, to say the least, but I know I will recover, I just don't know when or how.

This is my second time posting. I'm not too sure what I think about this site yet because whenever I read negative things it makes me a little nervous.

I have tried the following:
ritalin
wellbutrin
pazil
Zyprexa
Celexa

wow.. I never noticed how many I've tried...

And now I'm just starting Effexor. Basically the others didn't work wonderfully for me and some were pretty bad, but if someone were having a good response, I would never say anything to persuade them to change.

Something that really helps me feel an occasional sense of peace is hope that things will get better.

I haven't really had many side effects besides very intense dreams.... and for now it is okay.

I would like to hear from you who have had positive experiences with Effexor. I am going to be on the XR, but am currently taking the regular until we know the dosage which is best. Just some supportive thoughts would be nice. I don't want to remain ignorant of the side effects of course. I hope you all understand what I'm trying to say and I appreciate your help.

I really want to love life the way I used to...... to feel life again. At moments I can and it is wonderful.
Thanks in advance....
