I started taking effexor about 4 weeks ago. I felt great, I was more positive, had more energy, and was much happier. My doctor then switched me over to effexor XR so I would only be taking one pill a day instead of one in the morning and one in the evening. After one week on XR I crashed. I became more deppresed than ever, couldn't sleep, irritable, no energy, and finally suicidal. I went back to my doctor and she put me back on effexor two times a day. Within 2 hours I was feeling much better and was actually able to think rationally again. Has anyone else had problems with XR? My doctor is thinking about putting me on another brand of anti-deppresents. Has anyone had success with any other types? I scared to go off effexor again. Any advice or comments are very much appreciated since this is all new to me. Thanks, Wendi
