I have been on Effexor XR for 3 weeks now and I feel great. My current dosage is 450 mg and counting.
As you can see, I am nocturnal due to the Effexor XR.
I also take Zyprexa which makes it posible to go to sleep more naturaly. I have a major Bi-Polar problem which includes suicidal thoughts when I'm on the down swing and I don't even want to talk about the up swing as it has nearly put me in jail. Between the Effexor XR, Zyprexa, Dialantin, Neurotin and Lamictal my depression and mania have no choice but to disapear. I am above zero so to speak (hypo-mania ?) and genrally happy even thougth I have no job. The Neurontin did the job of stopping the edgyness and road rage. I need to be at work, putting this energy to good use. The great news is that I am getting called every day for work posibilities. I even get an occasional phone interview. One of these positions will work out.
BTW some of these meds are due to a grand mal seizure I had a few months ago.
Has anyone out there had experience with elevated levels of Effexor XR ???
