Hi
Could anybody tell me a little bit about how long Effexor takes to work? I know obviously everyone is different, but just hearing about peoples experiences of it would be good.
I'm really worried as I took my 2nd tablet this morning (75mg). No side effects so far, but no good effects either. The thing is, when I took prozac, it took a good 2 weeks at least before I felt ANYTHING - but the reason I'm worried is because everyone seems to be saying that they felt an effect immediately! And now I'm really worried that they're not going to work for me!
Eeeek. Please reply! I'm really really scared, coz I dont know what to do if the Effexor doesnt work.
It feels like something in my brain is broken and no-one knows how to fix it. Does anyone know what I mean? I know its illogical, but I keep thinking that all these "depression treatments" work for everyone else, but for some reason they're just not gonna work for me. Coz my brain has gone wrong differently to everyone elses.
Oh grr.
Well, if any of you guys could just tell me a little bit about Effexor, when you started feeling anything, and at what dose etc, I would be very very grateful.
