Zinya, regarding your comments on dividing capsules, I know you mentioned one time that you told you pdoc or doc? about this and he/she said it was okay. I've questioned this for some time now and according to the instructions on my Rx, it says:
"Each Effexor XR capsule should be swallowed whole with fluid and not divided, crushed, chewed, or placed in water."
I beleive taking the capsule whole, gives that extended release (XR) reaction to the body and/or brain so that it keeps on working thoughout the day.
If it works for you that's good, just wanted to put my 1 1/2 cents worth in here.

p.s. thanks for helping Suzy with referral. I knew we could count on you. (((HUGS))))
