I Love Effexor
I am now into my 3rd or 4th month of taking Effexor. I gotta say I like it a whole lot better than any other med I've been on. I used to take Wellbutrin for quite a few years, and it DID help a lot-- at 1st. But then it quit working on me. I stopped taking it a year ago, and oddly enough, that "fog" that my brain was always covered in lifted just a couple weeks ago after I stopped taking it. Strange??
This spring I started on effexor. At 1st I was on a medium dose and it caused too many side effects-- I was always twitching and moving around, I couldn't help it, and I had this weird urge to run my hand through my hair all the time. And I had problems sleeping. So the doctor cut the dose down to the lowest, 37.5, and I have done fine with it. Recently that got doubled. I am now doing just fine on it. No side effects except I don't seem to be hungry at all... which is just fine with me (yes I am still eating!!) I take it at night before I go to bed.
The effexor seems to have cleared my mind. I feel like I have room in my head for normal thoughts again. Between the effexor and God working in my mind, I feel like a more normal human being.
