Charlie--

I was exactly where you were with it...took it (effexor xr)
for a month or so, and didn't notice any improvement....Personally,
if I were you...I'd nix it and move on...although I'm sure many would
argue with me, that's just the way I feel. Particularly if you've responded
more rapidly in the past. Just be prepared for the withdrawal, which I think
can be bad even if you start another drug. I was on it for only a month
or so at a low dose most of the time (33 mg's) and then a couple of weeks
at 75 mgs...and withdrawal was still really, really hard for me. I am
still feeling a little dizzy, but emotionally things have calmed down
and the dizziness is a little less every day...

The more I think about it, the more glad I am that I decided not to be
on effexor...even if it would have worked well for me, I don't want to be
on a med that is that damn hard to get off of.
