Here's why Effexor XR is right for you:
*It can be taken all at bedtime, conveniently.
*It has the possibility of affecting serotonin, norepinephrine, _and_ dopamine--more chemicals--thus maximizing your chances for relief.
*It has no anticholinergic side-effects.
*Sexual disturbances are reported less than with SSRIs.
*It has gained the acceptance of psychiatrists worldwide in less than 8 years of U.S. FDA approval.
*It has few significant interactions with other medications.
*The idea of it being addicting due to withdrawal effects is unfounded; if it had any chance of being addicting, it would have been labeled at least a Schedule IV substance by the U.S. DEA.I myself took Effexor XR up to 375 mg. The only side-effects I had were remedied by mirtazapine.
