hi..
i just joined this thread, and i have a few questions.i have not started taking Effexor XR yet, but i have a percription sitting here with me on my desk that says:
- -
1 tab po 9d x 7d
then 2 tabs po 9d x 7d
then 3 tabs po 9d x 7d
then 4 tabs po 9d x 14 days
Do not refill
- -
i have taken other medicaiton before, {Celexa}, which did nothing...and have tried Valium for anxiety, which worked for a bit, but not very well, and i had to get it through other means, since my doctor is not into perscribing these types of drugs. {yes i am looking for another doctor}i have been diagnosist with major untreated depression (over 10 yrs){and all the other wonderful thing shtat go along with this :( } and experienc moderate anxiety, with extreme feelings of paranoyia over a period of 5+ years.
i was wondering if others have had a similar situation, and have had benefits from Effexor XR, or if they found something else that worked for them.
i have been reading about Effexor XR here, and other places on the web, and getting some information from my pD, however, i am still slightly reluctant to fill the perscription for fear of it having no affect on my symptoms, and then having to deal with the withdrawl affects, though i am quite whiling to try anything.
any insight?
thank you for taking the time to read my post,
