Default I took Effexor XR

For severe anxiety and mild to moderate depression. For me it was like someone flipped a switch and gave me back myself and my life. It was that dramatic. It literally saved my life.

The first week at 37.5 was great! Then I was increased to 75 and that first week at the increased dose had me about crawling out of my skin. I was almost to the point of going back down to the 37.5 but made myself stick it out a full week and that worked. I stayed at 75 a day for about 3 years. Never did need to increase.

As for mood symptoms, I'm not sure precisely what you mean. Mood symptoms can cover alot of Dx. Could you be more specific?
