Hi dsmith

I have been on Effexor XR (150 mg/day) for a while and have found it helpful. My psychiatrist told me that it is important to take it at the same time each day, which I do.

Apart from that I have found non-pharmaceutical approaches (mindfulness/meditation methods and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), which my clinical psychologist has taught me, of value as well.

Those approaches might be worth thinking about as well as medication.
