> Your DR probably prescribed it to be taken @ night so you do not feel your side effects as strong. I started @ night too now my p-doc wants me to take all 225 @ once, in the morning.

> NO, I HAVE NEVER TAKEN AD'S BEFORE. MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED THIS FOR ME BECAUSE OF DEPRESSION AND FOR ANGER THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE MY HUSBAND AND I SEPERATED. (WHICH I AM HAPPY ABOUT, BUT HE'S NOT....AND HE MAKES ME ANGRY ON PURPOSE)I STARTED SMOKING 3 MONTHS AGO AND MY DOCTOR SEEMS TO THINK IF I TAKE THIS IT WILL HELP MY NERVES AND I WILL QUIT SMOKING. (I HAVE KEPT BRONCHITIS SINCE I HAVE BEEN SMOKING.) NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE TO ME, BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH DEPRESSION OR THESES BURST OF ANGER THAT I GET EVERY SO OFTEN. I AM ONLY HOPING THE EFFEXOR HELPS FOR MY SAKE AND FOR MY CHILDREN.
