Effexor XR eased my depression/anxiety but I gained nearly 15 pounds in eight months, was always constipated and tired. With the help of my doctor I decided to discontinue Effexor XR. I tapered off the medication gradually following my doctor's instructions. Two days after my last dose I developed severe anxiety, flu like symptoms, vivid dreams and basically I felt more depressed than before I ever started taking Effexor XR. This drug worked for me, but the withdrawls of this medication was hell. I never experienced this with other antidepressants. Good luck to all thinking about taking Effexor XR.
