Hey, Liz, sorry, I guess I was so caught up in the idea of the error that I forgot to answer the question you posed in your subject line. I agree with James about xr being better. I found it to be hard to be very consistent with dosing times on the regular effexor, and that would make a huge difference in how I felt. Also, taking the xr version has helped a bit with sleep problems, and with GI problems. And, I have fewer adverse effects with the xr version, like memory problems (word retrieval) headaches, and sweating, which was profuse on the regular version, and blacking out when laughing or changing from sitting to standing position quickly.
As always, YMMV, and I think there was someone who posted recently about preferring the regular version.
