In reply to Switching from Paxil to Effexor XR, posted by roobie on May 27, 2004, at 9:56:15
I went from Paxil to Effexor XR. I found an immediate boost to my mood and gradually increased my dosage until the depression and anxiety (I get mad and snippy too) improved. I have put on weight with effexor, too. My p-doc had advised me not to focus on that aspect until I am stabilized on the meds. We did add Wellbutrin XL to the mix. It suppressed my appetite, improved my libido (yahoo!) but it agitated me greatly at first.
Good luck.
