Effexor XR Reviews

So my doctor prescribed me effexor 37.5 mg thinking it would help my depression and anxiety but, let me tell you I was way better off not taking it. It was a disaster! I felt normal for the first four hours or so but when i got my heart rate up it felt like i was on ecstasy (and it WAS effexor not E). My pupils grew like nothing i've seen before, i was shaking, having cold sweats, excessive talking and moving. Later on after that feeling passed,  the vomiting started accompanied with weird thoughts. My mind was going at 100 miles an hours! I was throwing up every hour of the night until probably...

I used this product for a little over a year.  My severe clinical depression was well-managed, but I started to experience spells which were later to be diagnosed as seizures.

I hadn't experienced a seizure is some twenty odd years (since shortly after my birth).  I was born with circumstances that made me susceptible to seizures, and when my threshold was lowered the seizures began and worsened until I realized there was something wrong.

This product increases chances of a seizure in the general (otherwise healthy) population by 33%, for me it was almost a certainty (as is the risk with any...

i take this med everyday. i have taken it over year now. it really helps me out. i have been dealing with derppsion for few years. this is one meds that has helped me. one side effect that i do not like that is sweatting. if i miss a dose i have bad dreams/nightmears. i am not sure what else to say about it right now.

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...

I was very skeptical when my doctor wanted to put me on Effexor XR however now I could not be happier. I am typically a person who can handle just about anything but last year I just lost control of my feelings and needed help. More help than just talking to someone. My doctor tried a different one because at first my insurance would not cover it however, the other one did not work and my insurance began to cover this drug I started taking it regularly.

It has worked great. I have been in therapy for a year and taking this drug for about 8 months and I can now deal with my emotions the way...

I have used Effexor XR for my bipolar for a few years. It works well to fight irritability and moodiness. However, now that I have been taking it so long, the dosage has been bumped up a few times and after awhile it always seems I'm back where I began. For bipolar I really should be taking more than just an anti-depressant, in order to combat all the effects of the condition; this could be where the problem is. Or perhaps it is just a good product for short term use.

 Additionally, though I find the impact of my medication wearing off after I have been taking a specific dosage for an extended...

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...

For three years I was prescribed numerous antidepressants to combat my major depressive disorder. Some worked better than others, but all had side effects I could tolerate for only so long. Last year my doctor suggested I try EFFEXOR. She prescribed a very small dosage which I tolerated very well. In less than three months the dosage was perfect and I have never had any side effects. Now I can make social plans and actually attend them instead of cancelling at the last minute for fear of being around too many people. I am calmer at work and truly enjoy family gatherings. My panic attacks are...

I know each person, who has depression, has different chemical make up. With my depression I also have anxiety. I have found Effexor XR helps me along with some other medication to control my clinical depression.

Depression is a chemical imbalance in a person. It takes chemicals to help balance out that problem. Effexor XR  works the best for me. It seems to work better when taken in the morning. I'm told this is more of an upper drug. I also noticed that I don't have as much anxiety while on it.

I enjoy being able to enjoy waking up, as I am a morning person. If you have depression either clinical...
