> As stated, I'm a newie with Effexor XR I just started yesterday on the starter kit and i am feeling a little anxious I feel like i'm on some type of speed. Is this normal? It kind of has me worried. I have tried Zoloft and Elevil and both have made me feel "racy" My doctor put me on Effexor because i am "Depressed" i don't know why and i'm tired all the time. I can't keep my eyes open and this seems to not let me sleep eventhough i keep yawning. I guess i really don't know what to expect and i'm afraid to become a "pill-popper" can anyone help me understand better please?

Personally, I kind of liked the beginning side of Effexor. It wore off after a few days. Perhaps a week. I have taken perhaps five different types of antidepressants. Prozac and Effexor are the ones which work best for me. I have been taking Effexor maybe three months. I take notes on my behavior and I would say that Effexor is the most effective drug I have taken. I have not experienced this side effects that many seem to experience. But I think that perhaps only people who have problems will contribute to this forum. Not many contributors here have zero side effects. I have experienced one side effect. Lack of sexual response. For me it is not enough to stop taking and the drug. For me life is not worth living and if I spend all my time holed up in the apartment.
