I have been on Effexor XR (150 mg/day) for some years. I have found very helpful, combined with non-pharmaceutical approaches (CBT, mindfulness/meditation methods, etc).
My psychiatrist told me that it is important to take it at the same time each day, which I do as part of my morning routine. |

If my experience is any guide it took about a month before Effexor kicked in fully.
I hope that it works well for you. |

Since you are now on your 5th prescription antidepressant, may I suggest you research natural remedies if it turns out the Effexor does not work out for you. I have found that Sam-E is a very effective antidepressant for me. I have been unable to tolerate any of the side effects of prescription anti-d's. But, please, don't try it until you are NOT on any prescription ones and do discuss it with your doctor, especially your oncologist if you are still doing any treatment for your cancer. This is something a naturopathic doctor would be more familiar with though. You CANNOT take Sam-E and prescription antidepressant together....please never make that mistake. To me, the best benefits, aside from side effect free antidepressant is this is supposed to help clean your liver(which I need because I take so many prescription drugs) and help with joint pain. That is the only one I have personally taken, I know there are others like Saint John's sort, etc. http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/arti...m-e-depression My prayers for you to completely clear your cancer and to feel better and better every day. Take care, Diandra |

had my brief appointment
needed to get scripts that wasn't the only pain getting back into car only to see my back fender was hit while in doctors office no note why would one do such a thing needless the important thing no one was in the car it was parked here is the thing there is a hospital directly across the street when the officer arrived i asked him with all the cameras out it was bound to be on one of them if it was possible to view i was blown away with his response was "we only do things like that if a fatality occurred or something big like that told him i do not want to take the effexor he understood so i made the decision me

Eva,
Now, or later, the person who hit your car will get their comeuppance. I believe there is a Karmic Balance in issues like this that will not go unpunished. A blessing no-one was hurt. Dave. |
