In reply to Effexor vs Paxil, posted by Sandbob on May 17, 2004, at 11:24:53
I was on Paxil for about 2 years and increasing dosages did not help my depression. When I was dx's as bipolar2, my p-doc put me on effexor xr. I was miserable for the longest time (at least 8 weeks) but the side effects eventually subsided and I must say that this is the best I have felt in a long, long time.
Everyone is different, but for me, it was worth staying in there.
