In reply to Any positive's for effexor?, posted by thinkfast on March 19, 2004, at 5:07:49
I was put on Effexor XR over a month ago for severe depression. For me it has worked wonders, I do have some night sweats and for the first few weeks had a hard time sleeping, but now that has tapered off and I feel so much better. I do not have an appetite on Effexor so I have lost about 10 pounds so far. For me this drug has been wonderful, it takes a few weeks to kick in, for some maybe longer. Good luck everyone!
> We always hear the negative sides of effexor, and I was wondering how many people have had positive effects with this med? I'm tired of the 'hangover' effect of Remeron, and ready to try something different. Something that rids one of obsessive type thinking is desperatly needed. I need a break. The Rem just doesn't do anything for my thinking. It slows down my body, but not the mind. Also, would anyone reccomend the XR over the regular?
