Effexor had a number of effects on me that were both positive and negative. When I first started it, I felt an improvement in my mood and energy level. However, at some point, things swung around and it began to make me feel dysphoric. After a few weeks of dysphoria, it swung around once again and provided me with some relief. Yes, it was to some degree affectively numbing, but if it were to produce a significant remission, I know that the activation and clarity of thought that comes along with it would by far overshadow the negative effects the drug produced. I took 300mg for about a year, at times in combination with nortriptyline. It almost worked.
