Good luck to you Jay and hang in there. I'm currently on Lexapro and it took approx. two weeks b/4 I began feeling a bit better. I honestly believe all the different effects meds have on ones body could possibly be our age, sex and/or gender...something to think about!!
> After much indecision i finally started taking effexor today (75mg)I have recently been through a very traumatic break up and could not operate normally due to constant anxiety and had lost all interest in life, i suffered from mild depression prior to this incident but felt i could cope.
>
> I had felt very fatigued and nauseous all day and all of a sudden it was like a light had switched on in my head, the horror of my anxiety was gone and i felt refreshed and energetic, several people have informed that the medication does not start to work for at least two weeks, so what i am wondering is whether it is more likely that i am experiencing some sort of placebo effect or if it is possible for the medication to have such an immediate effect (approximately 7 hours) I Would appreciate your thoughts.....Jay
