Effeoxr XR is the first medicine that I also took that really helped me. It appears that most doctors start you on 37.5 mg. than up it as needed. If you can somehow relax and just try not to focus on it, you will be ok. It will either work or not work so do not worry about anything bad happening. I know what you are going through tho and it is scarey starting a new medicine. I had some minor wieght gain with increased in appetite when I got to 75mg. But I wieghed feeling "good" and let it go. I pick my battles with this depression. It was a miracle drug in my case to me. I am very thankful for it as it helped me feel whole again. Now, I am to the point where my doctor thinks I may not need it anymore and experimenting with differnt dosages and weaning a bit. I feel as though the weaning is similar to when you first go on,, just backwards. So, hang in there. Do the best that you can do to live a quality of life and try not to worry. I know that is hard.
I am here for you.
Take care.
