I am now off effexor totally. Having tapered down from 225. I had physical problems on it, that and the price I knew I had to go off it. I was wondering if I needed to go back on an snri, has anyone been on FETZIMA. I would love to hear from people that are on it. Just in case, better safe than sorry..

Never been on Fetzima but I hear it is a stronger form of Cymbalta. If you're concerned with the cost of Effexor then Fetzima might not be a good idea since it is not generic and likely won't be for awhile.
Cymbalta might be a good option. Why do you want to go back on?

I am on Fetzima and it has worked better than any other and I have tried them all. Effexor was one of the better ones for me but pooped. There is generic Effexor. Venlafaxine. Fetzima has been great so far.

I was on Fetzima, and it didn't workout for me. I gave it 4 weeks, maybe not long enough...so I went back to my prior AD, Pristiq. I tend to do much better on the SSNRI's, so I was really disappointed the latest one didn't do anything for me.

I have terrible social anxiety and have just had a few hours of blubbing over nothing really. I dont want to get really bad like I have done and ended up in hospital. I am keeping an open mind about my depression, after all people that cry dont mean that they have depression. Just in case plus my husband said I am a nightmare to live with. The generic will still cost me 144 euro a month so it makes no difference over here. Sorry for the long post.

Does it help with anxiety. Maybe you are on seperate meds for that.

Fetzima is an SSNRI.
Yes I take klonopin for anxiety and started that before Fetzima so I can't really say. I know the klonopin totally wiped out the horrible anxiety I was having. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just went off of nardil because of the side effects. My doctor is trying Fetzima and I am scared it won't work. Did anybody try this drug with good results.

I am currently taking Fetzima and it has really worked for me. I am taking 80 mg and have been taking it since September.
