worked for 5 years and then started getting headaches and loss of short term memory. Decided to get blood test and found that there were other issues testosterone and thyroid. Force doctor to check these things out so you too are not just masking other physical issues. I have actually lost 1.5 in height which is caused by low testosterone. Also know your family history and provide that in detail to your doctors genetics play a huge role.

helped but gave me insomnia

It works well with the Remeron.Problem weight gain

Worked for many years but then stopped working.

Worked, but was not impressed by the weight gain. With most anti-depressive medication, the body develops either an immunity or dosage increase was necessary to maintain proper effectiveness.

No longer taking medication due to loss of employment and medical insurance.

150 mg 1x a day

Went back on this med and seems to balance me pretty good, but still wish I was happier. Still get melancholy easily.

This is the last of my BP cocktail meds. I find that Effexor taken either once XR or twice a day non XR really has helped to calm me down and allowed me to look at the brighter side of life so to speak

Never worked. Extreme anxiety.

Took this from 2001-2008. The first month I was on it it worked amazingly well, after that month it took the edge off my depression and took my panic attacks completely away...but never seemed to work as good as that first month. I developed restless leg syndrome from taking it and had horrible withdrawal symptoms if I missed just one dose.
