I take 225 Effexor,does any one have problem with weight gain,

Good Morning,

About three week's ago when I went to pick up my medication there was a note to say my Venlafaxine (Efexor XR) had been changed to a generic brand of the medication - Enlafax. I didn't think too much of it at the time
I have noticed a drop in my mood, I am increasingly more irritable and angry inside, my thoughts of self-harm and suicide have definitely increased, and I just don't feel "right".
I thought a bit more about what could be causing then then I had a light-bulb moment… read more

This is my first post, so I hope this is where it goes. But I have a question. Has anyone been on effexor? I tried zoloft and prozac and I felt worse than when I started. My doctor just tried to change me to effexor but I've read so many reviews I'm nervous about the side effects. I started taking meds really for anxiety but then I feel like my depression has gotten worse on the medications. So now I'm wondering if I should just try to taper off of everything and see how it goes. Honestly, they… read more

Is Clozaril better for depression than Effexar

I am considering asking the GP to prescribe me Venlafaxine.Can anyone tell me the efficacy and side effects of this particular drug? The combination of Sertraline&Mirtazapine do not seem to be working for me.

My Doctor prescribed Effexor to me a week ago due to my depression was getting worse. They took me off zolof because it was giving me a massive headache but reading all the review about this drug I haven't taken any of it because I am afraid of having bad side effect. What should I do? What Kind of Side of effect does anyone have and did it help anyone on here? I also have anxiety about taking any type of medications,

Is there any other antidepressants besides Zoloft? I have been on zoloft since 2011 and I am finding that it is not effective like it used to be. What other medication goes Wellbutrin? I started using that in October 22, and it helps a lot. I want to stop taking zoloft. Should I stop taking zoloft or wait for my next appointment? Is it true that if you stop taking your antidepressants, your mood will go from bad to worse?

Just wondering if that's the cause...psych meds. I've been on them (many different ones) for nearly 20 years for major depressive disorder and anxiety. I am 40 years old and the last couple years have seemed cloudy for me. I am definitely not as sharp as I used to be! Currently on Viibryd, Abilify and Provigil. Thank you in advance!

Does anyone else question needing psych meds for life and have an inner battle with having to take them long term? Or have you accepted needing them for life?
