In reply to Anyone had success on Effexor XR? , posted by jp on October 24, 1999, at 14:59:14
I am new to this site. I have been on Effexor for 2 and half months, I will have to say it was a God send. I was in the mental hospital for 2 weeks, and I thought I was losing my mind. I have a chemical imbalance, and prozac wasn't helping me anymore. I am now up too 300mgs a day(150mgsx2) and I am feeling so much better. I have had alot of side effects but at least I know who I am and I am not crying 24/7.
I was having trouble sleeping so they put me on trazodone, (100mgs at nite) and I am taking inderal for the tremors. Plus I am taking Gabitril for a mood lifter. I have had a few days that I felt like I might be going back into depression, but they only last a day or 2. My doctor told me until I was on the meds for 6 months, that I might have this happen. Has anyone else experienced this? Also I have had tingling in my face and at times thur out my whole body, it comes and goes. Is this normal? Thanks for any feed back.
