My husband and 13 yr old daughter both took Effexor for a period of time... I believe it definately worked for both of them. I know others who take it & have had positive experiences. For my husband though, the side effects were tough--excessive sweating, and decreased sex drive & performance. He eventually weaned off (should have gone MUCH MUCH slower...it was rather rough at times...) and now is doing pretty well on 5HTP & SAMe. My daughter weaned off VERY slowly with no problem. She didn't really have any side effects while taking it, UNLESS she forgot a dose--that was bad. Dizziness, etc., so DON'T forget each day! :-) I agree with other others..you won't know if it'll work unless you try. Good Luck!
