Has anybody experienced this type of pattern before? About two weeks upswing, and than about a week downswing.
I started taking Effexor in November and have been making some good improvement since then, except for these periods of depression. What do you think, does it warrant a new dosage (I'm on the lowest therapeutic dosage right now)?
Thanks!

Yes, I totally know how that feels! It's like an emotional rollercoaster. I tried Effexor and it made me so aggressive that I couldn't stand myself. I'm glad it's working better for you than it did me. If you're like me, my body will start becoming accustomed to the dosages and I have to keep increasing them until I've maxed out and have to start another med. I hate that.
