YES!

I have had a VERY good experience with this medication. It has helped me to be relieved of a very deep, dark depression as well as gain control of my thoughts and my mind.

I have not faced the problem of withdrawal yet, because I haven't tired to get off Effexor, nor do I intend to for the foreseeable future. Nothing I read here will influence me to get off what for me has been a God-send. The stories shared here are very real, I'm not discounting them in any way. However, if and when I need to get off Effexor, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

It is unfair to yourself and your doctor to read these boards and allow yourself to get scared from using what could be a good medication for you.

The better course of action would be to share your concerns of what you've read with your doctor and get his/her opinion and then proceed from there.

Best Wishes,

Tony


> I just started on Effexor XR yesterday, have had depression for about two years, was on prozac, just didn't help and went off, drug free for about 6 months and was in quite a state, family begging me to get on something. After reading all the posts I am now terrifed of being on Effexor now. Does anyone have any good experience with this drug. HELP!
