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!

I have experienced this kind of cycling in mood, it can be very trying---feel so good, build up those hopes and dreams and WHAM, like the rug gets pulled out from under again (like a voice saying "gotcha" for me)---A dose boost sounds like a good way to go, Effexor is often titrated up from low to a therapeutic dose, which of course varies person to person. Best to you, and hang on to the good times!
