> That's great to hear! May I ask what dosages you are taking?
Hi, I logged on to this website when I first started taking Effexor and frankly it scared me to death and it was the best decision of my life not to listen to anyone on hear and do what was best for me and I encourage everyone else to do the same. the side effects on whatever drugs you are taking are different for every person and I just wanted someone reading this site to know that despite all the complaints on here, Effexor does work for some people and it worked for me. It gave me my life back, I have been on it for 5 months (75mg) in combination with Wellbutrin (200mg) per day and the difference is truly amazing..I feel like a different person and I wonder why I lived the way I did for so long! I now have the energy to exercise 6 days a week and have got my normal life back and many people have commented on the change in my personality despite the fact they never knew I had depression. The only side effect I had was insomnia for the first little while, but it eventually went away once your body gets used to the medication...YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT TIME TO WORK!! Even with the insomnia fort the first time I could truly tell the difference between being tired from lack of sleep and the tired I felt before taking the medication...it doesn't even compare. So please if you are considering takihng Effexor or Wellbutrin and are hesitant because of this website, try it for yourself and see if it works, it may give you your life back...just becasue it didn't for most on this site, doesn't mean the same will be true for you...there is hope!!
