In reply to Taking Effexor 150 .. depression or love?, posted by jeffb on June 26, 2001, at 22:59:34
Hi Jeff,
I remember reading something somewhere (sorry, really have no idea anymore where I saw it) about how being in love apparently influences the serotonine levels in your brain. They said that that may be an explanation why people in love can feel so extremely down sometimes. So maybe your feelings for this special person actually do influence your depression. I don't know if that theory is correct, I just wanted to share this knowledge with you. I am on Effexor too, 150 mg XR and I am much more stable on that dose. I can actually feel something for other people again, and not just on a few good days, but on a more permanent basis. I hope things will work out for you.
Take care,
Emmah
