So how does Efexor work?

Posted by pretty_paints on March 19, 2004, at 9:06:24

hiya

I start on Efexor in a few days, for depression n anxiety (although depression is by far the worst problem). Im just coming off prozac (40mg per day) at the mo. I'm really worried, all unsure. But I think thats just coz its nerveracking starting on something new, knowing things could go either way.

Just a few questions tho, to caalm me! Iv read that (unlike prozac) efexor has an incredibly short life, which is why people get all these bad withdrawal effects. But what I wondered about (rather than more scary withdrawal stories!hehe) was, how do u feel if the drug lasts such a short time? I dunno, maybe I'm being dense, but do you get a low-high-low again wave over just 4 hours?? eeek! That sounds bad. Or do you generally feel quite level. I have noooo idea about this drug works.

Also, has anyone been on prozac and efexor? how do they compare? similarities/differences..?! better/worse..?!

thanks a lot.
fingers crossed for the next few days :)
