effexor and decision making

Posted by Trixiebelle on December 3, 2004, at 12:48:12

Has anyone had a similar experience with effexor?

I started effexor after being on another antidpressant for a number of years. Within days of starting I felt "very well" but looking back I was actually very "high" verging on "manic" for a number of months. During this time my decision making skills were not reliable.

Although I have suffered from depression for a number of years I have never experienced a "high" like this.

I was taking paroxetine ( seroxat) for about 9 to 10 years but when I started decreasing the dose I became depressed again and infortunatley when I increased the dose again it didn't work so I was switched to effexor
