I'm on Effexor 225/day. I've been on it for a month now, with no side effects, no good effects. I might have to up it or combine it.
I've always had excellent mood, very good at restraining myself from doing anything I would regret. You can call me any name in the book, I'll still act polite to you. On the first day of school at college, a few girls assumed I was a freshman and started sarcasm at me. I was a sophmore, I just look young for my age. Well guess what I did to these girls who were in the same grade I was? I played along as if I was a freshman, because I didn't want to embarass them. I know it's pathetic and unhealthy, but my problem is I'm too nice-- even to people who aren't nice back.
Well anyway, I've never had a temper, and am at an Ivy league school, so I'm fairly successful in life. Aren't loudmouths and the sort the first to lose it on their boss and get fired as a result? Holding thoughts in your head is really the best way to succeed in life, unless you own your own company or something.
> all in all effexor keeps you stable and happy, but less motivated to succeed in life. You need anger to succeed in life. Any body agree? I feel my life is slipping away. I feel totally hooked on anti-depressents! I'm scared to get off of them because I'm afraid I'll either sink into another unproductive depressive episode or I'll become extremely angry and lash out at people. At least I'll be myself however. Van Gogh would never have been Van Gogh on anti-depressents!
