In reply to Effexor XR CRYING, posted by Spirit59 on November 28, 2001, at 10:15:50
> Has anyone experienced UNCONTROLLABLE crying while taking Effexor XR? I had been on a maintenance level of 37.5mg/day for months, but life crisis that sent me into a tailspin. My PCP only increased the Effexor XR to 75mg/day, while my therapist believes, per the Physician's Desk Reference, that 150mg/day would be appropriate to "jump start" me out of this horrible depression setback. I find that on the 75mg/day I cry uncontrollably, am able to do nothing but "cycle" thoughts about what had sent me down this slope, and have suicidal thoughts, even with having been on the increased dosage for 4 weeks. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
I've been trying to get off of Effexor and, when I went from 37.5 to nothing, I cried over everything and nothing. Happy or sad, touching, whatever, it didn't matter. I only lasted 5 days off before I had to call and get a 25mg/day prescription. Still hoping to wean off someday!
