> > Hey guys! Fianlly saw the new Pdoc last week. She put me on effexor, which was going to be my reccomendation anyway. 37.5 to start, and then to 75mg after a week along with 45mg of Remeron. This is the usual start-up I guess? My main question is about the amount of time before you noticed any difference in ur symptoms? I can feel the norepinephrine for sure! Phew..It's nice to feel alive again. I've been getting these rushes all day, especially when I smoke...guess it's the DA or NE effect. It reminds me of adderall. This aspect works fairly well for social anxiety, and I hope it gets even better. The fear of social interaction has gone down a lot just in a few days. So, what can I expect over the next couple of weeks?

Went from 225 to 300 4 weeks ago.
Week1: I take Valium to subdue increased anxiety.
Week2: No Valium, feel energetic.
Week3: Have a head cold.
Week4: My short term memory is failing me & I am making silly mistakes.I think I will got back to 225mg.
