In reply to Efexor -xr - should i be feeling this way ?, posted by Moridin on January 24, 2004, at 0:25:28
Ihave suffered from depression for about 4 years ,i have been on a few different medications but have settled on efexor-xr 150mg
.i really felt horrible for about 2 1/2 weeks ,including nervousness ,nausia, dizziness as well as a number of other things, wich included really weird thought patterns , anxiety was the worst thing for me, i have been on efexor now for about 9 months and i am happy with the way they are working for me.the only downfall for me is i get nightsweats and have not had a single dream that i can remember since i started on them(wich may be a good thing for some)
i started to feel like a normal person about 1 1/2 weeks after starting them.the best thing is i can think rationally again( or am i,i think heheh )and i finally have some controll over my emotions . but dont foget that is how they worked for me , everyone is different and may require different approaches and medication.Always consult your doctor with these things and try not to miss taking them every day because it can have some yucky side effects till you get the levels back to normal.
Hope this helps you :)
