In reply to My experience with Effexor XR, posted by Creed on April 7, 2006, at 8:38:34
I've been taking Effexor XR (75) for about 10 weeks. After becoming acclimated to it, the only side effect I still have is the difficulty reaching a climax. I occationally have some nightmares and restless sleep remeniscent of the nightmares I had when I first started the higher dosage. (just last night as a matter of fact)
Overall I seem to be having an easier time of it than I am reading about on this thread. My relationships with wife and friends have improved dramatically. Greatly reduced depression, anxiety and paranoia. I am a little concerned now about what it will be like if I ever try to discontiue E -XR though. My doctor lead me to believe I might be able to do so after about one year of treatment. But he did not warn me of any difficulty in slowly reducing until the treatment is elliminated....I am reading through this thread for info from people who have had similar results as I am who have since discontinued treatment.
