Hello Angels4U,

I have been taking Effexor for over three years. I have been on so many in the past, prozac,anafranil,paxil,zoloft,celexa,serzone,luvox,elavil, anyway the Effexor at first helped some, then 2 years ago my pdoc put me on Effexor xr
which I have read about and it is supposed to help with depression as well as anxiety. I hope this is the one that will work for you.

The capsules, well it is difficult to split up the dose, because those little beeds are the time released part of the anti-depressant. And since it is time released I do not know the effects outside of the shell. If you can tolerate it, I would suggest taking the entire capsule to see how it works.

Have a good day

As I sit in front of this computer screen, I meet and learn and am helped by those I have never seen.

If you think you have totally gave up, you haven't, because you are here!
