Re: More likely to poop, Remeron or Effexor XR?

I have no personal experience with Remeron, but I did have some partial success with Effexor. It is my impression that, of the currently available antidepressants, Effexor is the *least* likely to poop-out. That is to say, Effexor is not as likely to stop working unless a change is made to the treatment regime. Someone can do very well for many years taking 300mg of Effexor. Often, a decision is made to discontinue or reduce treatment, despite the lack of evidence to do so. Unfortunately, a large number of people will relapse during the first four months after discontinuation. Once Effexor is restarted, it often does not work or not work as well.
