Well, I'm on day 29 of Effexor XR. I've tapered up to 150 mg / day. It started to work about 4 days after starting the 150 mg dose. It has helped me to have the feeling of hopelessness. I am suffering from anxiety induced depression due to sexual drive differences in my 26 year marriage. I still feel sad, but I don't hit bottom. It allows me to get another perspective. My doctor said that the seretonin has the ability to let your brain make new connections and erase the old repetitive connectsions that are causing you to be in a rut. I hope this is true, but it will take 6 months to a year.
