I was on effexor xr for 7 years. This med worked well for me when others did not. I had the side effects at a high doses 300mg . Effexor eventually pooped out on me, the withdrawals are tough but the med worked well for me for a long time. The biggest side effect I had was blurry vision and raised eye pressure but this was on the high dose. Every med has side effects but the relief they gave me was worth it. When the time comes for you to come off effexor just taper very slowly.
Read Kimberely Dis posts she has some good insights and is on effexor like you.
cheers Mary
