Effexor really works for me. I've been on it for years - albeit with increasing doses (up to 600mg now).
I remember when I first started taking it I would get a lot of anxiety. It took a while to get me to a dose that started having anti-depressant effects. So we started increasing by 37.5mg at a time as 75mg increases make me anxious again.
Truthfully though, I was pretty impatient & so I kinda pushed the doc to increase it more often without giving each dose a proper time to work. Fcuk it though - when you're really depressed, I think wanting to feel better ASAP is forgivable. So I forgive myself (!).
But now I'm on the max he'll prescribe. So if it stops working for me one day, I think I'll just run into a police station pointing a plastic gun around so they can solve it all for me.
Good Luck...!
