Hi, I was on Effexor XR for a year and a half and it really helped with my depression and anxiety. The side effects were pretty yucky. I could not tolerate higher doses as my blood pressure went up whenever we tried it.
It pooped out on me a year ago, and I've been on Cymbalta since then. It's OK but has not had as dramatic effect on the depression as Effexor did.

I have been on Topamax, too, as a mood stabilizer. It did not really help at all! but made my migraine headaches disappear. Oh, and my hair. So I'm not taking it any longer. Now I am on Lamictal which seems to be doing a much better job of keeping me on an even keel.

Just remember that these have been just my experiences and that we're all different!!
Good luck
ClearSkies
