I think the worst thing about Effexor is that my insurance keeps sending me letters for "lower priced options" and every time I get it filled it has to get approved by my doctor, because you know, I may not actually need it. They did the same thing with Cymbalta. I really enjoy how insurance companies like to tell you what to take because of course they know better than your actual psychiatrist.

I took two (300 mg total), so I'm starting to feel human again. I just find it interesting how one medication can severely alter the way you feel about life.
