I started suffering from depression due to chronic pain.. Effexor really did help my depression symptoms for a long time. I took it for a year and a half without to many terrible side effects, and i do reccomend to some that my not be gettign what they need from thier antidepressant.. Talk to your doc asap if your meds are not working.. Ask him/her if Effexor will help your depression symptoms. It helped me some, for much longer then most have.. If you feel you are getting feelings of constan sadness, want to hurt yourself or others.. Pleas talk to your doctor, not just about effexor but about anythign to help yourself with depression.
It can be brought on by stress, kids, first time mother, and sometime just life in general NOT just from chronic Pain.. Get the names of many meds and see if one may help you.. I tried MANY prescribed meds.. none worked til I found Effexor.. Maybe it will help you too.
