I did really well on effexor xr for 4-5 years. The only time I had side effects was when I missed a dose or two in a row. I would then have dizziness and anger issues. I have recently had to switch to Savella. The withdrawl was killer. My brain felt like it was loose in my head. I was dizzy, sick at my stomach, and very angry. I had to look at the ground while I was walking or driving or the world would spin. I highly recommend Effexor xr. That is if you plan to take it forever. If you want something for short term, I don't. It is to hard to get off of. The only way I got clear of it was alot of prayer. I have been off for three weeks now. I've read on the internet some people have to go to the extent of counting the tiny pills inside the capsule and reduce it by one everyday. It wasn't that bad for me, but I can see where it could have been. If I didn't have people praying for me I would have never made it. I still have anger issues but the other problems have subsided.
