In reply to Half-life of Effexor, posted by Lin on September 30, 2000, at 12:20:12
> I was recently started on 37.5 mg Effexor, which I take in the morning. I am wondering if the drug has a really short half life, or if I am imagining things, because I feel a slight crash from it when it wears off in the late afternoon. I get more anxious and restless and sort of agitated. Could this be from the medication wearing off?
James here.....Unlike most AD's Effexor has a very short half life, measured in hours, instead of the usual weeks. If you are not taking Effexor XR you should. I can get by with once a day dosing on XR
otherwise you would need to dose 2X a day. Effexor XR also has fewer side effects like nauesa.James
