hey all
I have been taking Effexor XR for 5 years and it has worked excellently. I have bi-polar, panic disorder and am epileptic, so it rules out the whole prozac/zoloft fam, as that sent me into a hypo-mania I will never forget. Yes, coming off Effexor is slightly hellish (I have forgotten to take it a few times), but in terms of having no side effects after a little while and it being a good option for depression, it gets two thumbs up from me. I also take trileptil and topomax for the seizures/bi-polar, and have begun abilify cuz I was having break through mania. Just remember that the meds take time.;-)
