5 years Effexor XR 150 mg. Worked great on my depression and anxiety.

Tolerable side effects if you never skip a dose or late on a dose. Skip a dose....forget about it!! Late on one...you better hurry up and take it. I've driven MILES & MILES just to go get a dose rather than wait til the next day and suffer the consequences. The "Brain Shivers" were not tolerable!!

Gradually weaned off for 3 months: First month at 75mg, second at 37.5mg, third at 37.5mg every other day. Still the WORST 3 months of my life.


Now looking for the next best alternative to treat depression/anxiety.
