Can you tell me how long after you started Effexor did you feel significant relief( say 80 % ) ? And at what dose ?
I do feel relief from Effexor , but the increment in efficacy is very slow . Now I have been two weeks on 150 mg after being on 75 mg for four weeks .
I do not worry about side-effects , though I am having plenty . If the drug works , I shall think about other medications to solve the side-effects . I want to give Effexor a fair trial , but the increase in benefits is ever so slow . Is it normal with Effexor that you feel better gradually until you reach a stage where you can call yourself to be in remission ? It is all very confusing .
Sorry to be a little wordy , but since you have been on Effexor for 5+ years and have had a positive effect , I thought you would be able to fill me in with some details .
