effexor???
| Sun, 04-25-2004 - 3:25pm |
i have been on effexor for about 2 years now. about a month ago due to problems, depression increase etc, my doctor increased my dosage to about 150 mg from 75 mg. but i seem to not show any difference if in fact it's almost worse (more days with being depressed, lasting longer than a day or 2).
has anyone had this problem? do you have to get used to it all over again?
i'm tired of feeling depressed and it's starting to effect my health (i hve dropped almost 15 lbs.)
any help greatly appreciated.

Sarah, I agree with Brenda.
My doctor told me our bodies can get use to a drug & it will no longer work.
So we first tried Welbutrin, but I had just about every side effect listed. So I was off it in 3 days.
Now I am on Zoloft. It has helped, but no where near as good as the Effexor. I am due for an appointment with my phyciatrist on Wednesday and my meds may be changed. I am also taking Klonopin, an anti-anxiety med.
Really am looking forward to my appointment cause my depression & anxiety has gotten worse. Hope I will get some place, but hate the thought of trying a new med, it takes so long to see if it works. I want to go back to where I was 6 yrs ago. Life seemed soooo
good then. Now, it's back to worry, worry, worry, and feeling like I just want to lay around, but can't (atleast that is good) cause I have to get up every day for work.
Guess....we shall see..........
