I am not very surprised at these responses. I feel that prozac did 0, nothing for me and took it stupidly for over 3 years. Now the effexor 37.5 will try but no guarantee of staying on it. My psychologist says she interviewed many hundreds of people on effexor for a project and that none of them reported troubles with it. I told her the longest withdrawal thread here on p-babble is for "effexor", plus all over the internet....enough said.
