Hi,
I thought I might contribute here,as I noted a lot of negative stories about this medication even though it is very popular and known to tackle the worst depressionsIve been on Efexor xr bt. 75 and 150 mg since begining of 2005 till now,and I must say I had annoying side effects the first month but after that it was great.
Positive things compared to other ADs (and I tried many of them including MAOs,RIMAs,TCA,SSRis.NRis,NDRis,atypicals)
]
No weight gain,but slight weight loss!
No insomnia,
No anxiety
No Fatigue but desirable activation!
Normal sex drive(sometimes I use Wellbutrin to enhance)
Fairly good concentrationThe only annoying side effect that is persisting is more than average sweating,which made me have more showes!
Please can I hear other positive experiences to lift up my soul?
Thanks,
Cloudnine
