| Add Effexor review when you start Effexor it really helps. The longer your on it the less it helps and the doctors ups your dosage. If you don't take it the same time everyday you start to have withdrawls within an hour. Weird feelings inside. And if you come off the Effexor this will be one of the hardest things you will ever do. I don't recommend Effexor if there is anything else out there. when you start Effexor it really helps.

I had tried taking 10 mg. and still had the bad side effects. When it started causing breathing problems I stopped taking it. I have CHF, COPD, Diabe ... makes me feel overall happier and more at ease and level headed, and less anxiety. Mood is lifted, and I a can get up in the morning and look forward to the day in a more positive way, and enjoy my kids again. I was experiencing a very depressed mood with a hopeless feeling and increased edgyness. Paxil helped relieve the symptoms. ive been on paxil for 7 yrs and now am having severe night sweats This medication worked well for my depression which I would consider moderate.It helpped me to feel "balanced" and not prone to overreacting as I was prior to it's use. I decided (with my doctor's approval) to quite taking it because I began having trouble with erosion of my tooth enamel which I had read could be caused by Paxil and long term use.It also effected my weight and ability to ... | |||
