Took 1/4 of a 50mg non-ER Effexor tab today. Building up slowly to prevent the migrainous onset I got last time, starting with a half tab.
I felt pretty good! A little anxious inside though. But my memory seems better, my hand-eye coordination worked better. I felt tired right when the drug would have worn off, a few hours into the half-life.
I'm restarting Effexor after a months-long process of anxiety due to blurry vision daily and trouble finding a diagnosis and treatment for it. After extensive testing, the thought is retinal migraine and possible thyroid eye disease.
I am also on verapamil(40 mgs x 3) for migraine prevention, and Clonazepam (.5 x 2) for anxiety.
I used to take 50mgs of Effexor and it worked for YEARS for anxiety/ocd and migraine. I went off due to fatigue and memory issues after a bit. Giving it another shot after 7 months off.
