Hey everyone.

I'm starting Effexor this week. I suspect I will be on in for a while. I was on Prozac for a year, up until about 6 months ago. Anyways ... any info/comments/concerns about Effexor would be great.
Thanks.

Hi Ephiphany,

There are a couple of threads here already on Effexor, if you do a search of this forum (using the "Search" function). My experiences and advice? DONT FORGET TO TAKE YOUR MEDS. This is NOT a fun drug to forget to take, and it can be fairly bad with taking it the first few days. Besides that... as far as I know, same as all the other SSRI/SNRIs out there.
