I've been taking effexor at 37.5 mg once a day. The dr. then decided to up it to 75 mg once a day. Because my body is very sensitive to anything he then decided it best to take me off of the medicine. I was supposed to stop taking the meds friday, and I did. I ended up in the minor emergency room on saturday because of it. I've only been on effexor for about six weeks. I haven't noticed any good changes. At an earlier age I was diagnosed with depression and was treated with prozac. I didn't have ANY side affects, and I told my dr about that and that my body is very sensitive to anything. Over the summer I was diagnosed with A.D.D., depression and anxiety attacks. My dr. told me that effexor would treat the depression and the A.D.D. and the anxiety attacks that I was having. Why then couldn't he put me back on prozac and something else to combat the A.D.D. I've had the WORST side affects from being on this medicine.
