Yes, I have had excellent success where all others failed, with Effexor XR. I started taking it for depression and mild bipolar, but about 3 yrs ago was hit with a rare spinal chord disease and we upped the dose to 450mg / day...way above the so-called limit. At first, I did experience dizziness, hand tremors, and some minor muscle spasms, but nothing very severe. It has worked wonders for me and keeps the 'fog' away and I've not gone into that 'pit' of depression even once!

I am on 17 meds for the spinal problems and my MD does have to ck my BP regularly, but never ever having had any heart or BP problems, my BP has risen only slightly. The Effexor seems to be balanced by the Neurotin that I take. I also use Duragesic ( Fentanyl ) in the patch form for pain control. The short answer is an emphatic YES! It works great for me. Good luck, best wishes for your health, Sam
