Hi,
As I discussed in a previous post, I have been having trouble with resilience. I think it's serotonin related as despite al the meds i am on, none is an SSRI. So yesterday I took 150mg of Effexor and bam, within hours, I could feel a response. Hard to describe, but I was more "present", and the "ache" of depression was gone. It also helped with anxiety. I think it was a little too much too soon though so i'm going to stay at 75mg daily for a while to see how I feel.
Has anyone else experienced such a quick response? I don't think it was placebo, but who knows. My guess is that all my other meds somehow maybe potentiated the Effexor...
Im on
Wellbutrin 600mg
Zyprexa 5mg
Abilify 5mg
Deplin 7.5mg
Agomelatine 25mg
Namenda 10mg
