Is this thread only for long-term Effexor users or for long-time antidepressant users in general? I first started on Zoloft when postpartum depression hit after the birth of my second daughter when I was 25. That daughter turned 7 just a few days ago. I switched to Wellbutrin after two years of Zoloft and have been on it ever since. I have had several failed attempts to go off antidepressants but never even got completely off before the depression and irritability came back. My psychiatrist now says that he expects I will need it for the rest of my life. I don't even want to attempt going off again because it takes me months to return to normal. I'm extremely grateful that I respond to antidepressants because my sister-in-law doesn't and needs to be hospitalized about 60 days out of every year.
