I have been on Effexor at different doses for about 1 1/2 years. The highest being 300mgs. Initially it did help my depression. I was not able to tolerate Paxil, Zoloft, etc. etc., This past summer the Effexor started to poop out so the psy doc added Remeron...after two weeks I felt like I was reborn..happy..etc...now 2 months later it is gone...the dr. increased the Effexor to 225 and my depression has gotten worse, no energy, motivation, no interest in anything..a real zombie...except for when I force myself to exercise...for those few hours...I almost feel normal then it it back downhill......I am going to start tapering off Effexor also and keep the Remeron where it is at 45 mg until I get to see the all mighty psy dr. again. I am unsure now about just staying on the remeron and not switching to something else....Cymbalta?? Good luck to all......
