    I have been on Effexor for about 2 years now. Makes you really brain dead. It did help me a little for my depression/anxiety, but nothing amazing. I am slowly coming off it and going onto Sertraline. Great!

    I would wait a good month to see if there are any improvements bro, maybe several.

    I went upto 225mg ED.

    I was on Zoloft for a couple of years until it stopped working, so they switched it to Effexor. Effexor never did a thing for me, so I tapered myself off of it. Not to mention I lost my health insurance and couldn't afford the damn stuff anymore.

    Testosterone , however, has all but cured my depression and social anxiety.

    You mean I should give the effexor a month to see if it works?

    Btw what other sides should I expect. Cipramil gave me a tremor, a dry mouth, sleep disturbances, made me short of breath and made me really apathetic.
