This is my first post to this subject but I have been taking Effexor XR (75mg) for about 2 mos. I started with the half dose for a couple of weeks and didn't really have any effects good or bad. I maybe did feel a little less anxious but could possible attribute that to an initial placebo effect (It was the first time I was taking anything for depression in 15 years so I was very conscious of my mood and myself.

The first 2-3 days after increasing the dosage were rough. The first night I could not fall asleep or when I did would immediately be awakened by a nightmare of people screaming at me.

Since those first few days I have been doing great...No more paranoia and greatly reduced anxiety and depression. The only side effect that remains is difficulty reaching a climax (cmming).

I feel as though the elation has diminished but I don't think I need a stronger dose. I probably have just leveled out now after the initial euphoria of having reprieve from the depression.
