I have been taking 75mg of Effexor XR for 3 weeks now (took 37.5mg for the 1st week). I have to say I noticed some nice changes after about a week and a half, although I could have lived without the terrible side effects! Man, those weren't fun!
Anyway, I didn't really care if the initial effect was a placebo effect or not, I was just happy to see some improvement. However, as I get back into routine of life, I'm noticing I am having a tendancy to slip back into mild depressions. I feel like I have a little more mental will-power to not let them completely over come me, but they are still there enough to make me feel uncomfortable or even a little scared. I was wondering when people have typically upped there dosage and how it was it determined to be necessary.
BTW, these posting are really helpful...thanx,
Aaron
