Hi all...I've been lurking here for the past 2 weeks since I started Effexor XR. 1st week 37.5mg and have now ramped up to 75mg. Will go to 150mg next week. Doc also RX's 150mg Trazodone at bedtime. Results so far:
1) No obvious side effects yet.
2) DEFINATE reduction in depression/anxiety.
3) Am now able to sleep (mostly) through the night without rolling around for at least 2 hours reviewing how f**k'd my life is.
4) Don't get really pissed at the slightest daily frustration. (Still get pissed at the really stupid/irritating ones though.)
Also, FWIW, my Doc at DX agreed that I have every reason to be depressed/anxious/angry given the current sorry state of affairs in my life.
What it is.
I'll post follow-ups from time to time.
Best to you all!
