I'm on Effexor and Lithium, the Effexor in very low doses. Still when I started taking it, I couldn't believe it. After day three I woke up and felt wierd. The i realized it was that for the first time in my whole life, I was not afraid. Together with my lithium, I have been more stable than I ever have been, and I feel like I have finally become a human being. Just make sure that she doesn't run out, because the effects of coming off straight are nasty! I thought I was having a migrain when I forgt at couple of doses Still, I will take that aspect any day for the way that this medication has helped me take my life back. I really wish her well on journey through the medications. Post again and tell us how she's doing!
