Effexor XR Review

Effexor Xr did it's job in balancing me out. I had a significant anxiety and depression problem. I started out with 75 mgs, moved up to 150 mgs and tried 300 mgs. In the end, I settled with 150 mgs. At 300 mgs, my dreams at night were very, very vivid and real like. They were too much to deal with. And mentally I felt bogged down. I did too with 150 mgs but not as much.I didn't notice much in side effects when I started taking it. It was very smooth. However, it is true it does effect your sexual drive and experience. And not just by some.

The prescription is fine if you have health and prescription insurance. If you ever suddenly lose those benefits, all I can say is you better be pretty wealthy. The drug itself for a 30 day supply is about. $180. The company does not offer you any helpful programs to try to reduce the cost. The company no longer offers free samples to my doctor so if and when I might need it due to a lack of funds, I can't get it from them.

I am now trying come off the precription and all I can is, it's a living hell. I have significant buzzing zaps dominating my head. As time goes on with out the medicine the body feels like it's shriveling up and deals with other irritable side effects. During the time of coming off it, you are very irritable. But whats worse than anything is the dreams you have at night when coming off of it. You many never have a set that's anything as bad, vivid and life like ever again in your lifetime. My dreams, all I can see are wretched right now. I have followed my doctors orders of dropping the mgs down to 75 for two weeks. And then taking one capsule every other day after that for two weeks. Its the day in between that is a living hell. If I don't  have one a day. These side effects let loose. I am now on day two. The side effects have not alleviated.

The bottomline here is the medicine helps. But in the end it ain't worth the hell you go through or the money you put out trying to come off it. And it has been hell.
