> Hi everybody,
> I am trying to make a desion. I have been on effexor xr for 3 weeks. 37.5,75,150. I have not felt any POSITIVE from this yet.... but many side effects that are scaring the *#*# out of me. Is it possible to tell if a drug is going to work for you in this amount of time? I've never taken an AD before... and I think if I want to stop them, now is the time, before I'm on it too long? I'm pulling hair out of my head trying to decide what to do. I can stop now, with hopefully minimal effects... or hang on and see what happens? If it's not the drug for me, I'd rather stop now and get it over with, since I'm out of work for 2 weeks. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm sooo tired of these side effects.. they are messin' with my mind!!!! Thanx guys....... Michele
Michele - One gentlement already stated that AD's take around 4-6 weeks before they start to work. One thing that you can do in the meantime is to manipulate your mind in a positive and constructive direction. Between AD's and some positive comments things can and hopefully will get better. It is amaizing what one can do with their mind!
Goodluck:-)
