Re: Anyone had success on Effexor XR?

I'm 42 and was on Effexor XR 300 for a year and stopped because of the weight gain (about 30 lbs). I had some of the withdrawls that some of the others had on these postings but not all & it only lasted for three days. I started Lexapro at the same time as coming off the Effexor XR and it did nothing for me. So I went back of the Effexor XR & am up to 150 now. I should have never switched. The doctor said (a different MD) it was on too high of a dose at 300. So far the 150 is working fine. It works great for me execpt for some side effects such as only getting 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night. I get night sweats too but not as bad as when I was on the 300 mg. I am so glad these postings are here they have helped me to see that I am not alone in my depression and the battle with the medications that we take.
Thank you ALL!
