| 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've been taking the generic version of effexor for about 1 year now. I was on Cymbalta for anxiety, depression and neuropathy. I have been experiencing more and more bouts of depression lately and wonder it if might be because I'm taking the generic version and not the brand name or if perhaps my doctor should increase my dosage or change me back to Cymbalta. I'll discuss that at my next appt. Several years ago I tried to commit suicide. Lately I'm feeling worthless and very sad. I don't want to go that route again. I want to be happy I just don't know if it's possible. You see, I've suffered from depression most of my life and it seems perhaps it's just not meant to be. | Add Savella review My nerve pain is much less painful after starting Savella. Have been on the product for nearly a month but I could feel the difference within the first 5 days of starting the meds. Had been on another rx previously. I have been on Savella for about 3 months now. It worked great when I first started taking it. It relieved my pain, fibro fog, I had energy and motivated. Now that I am on month 3, I have started feeling my pain coming back slowly and more intensly. Also, for the the past week I have been so sick. I feel like I just to need to puke 24/7 and very weak/fatigue. My doctor is closed today, I have an a ... I have had Fibro for many years and have tried so many different things but so far after one week I find Savella to be a god send. The pain relief far out numbers the side effects so anything that helps the pain is valuable to me. My depression was due to the pain that I was at the point that death would be a good thing that is how bad I felt. I am slowly getting over some of the side effects t ... When I first took Savella it was as if my life had been given back to me. I still had pain, but it was not as acute. It cleared "fibro fog" and I had a feeling of missing pieces of myself finding their place(you had to be there). I have taken it since 8/2010 and now, 5/2013, realize that exercise helps to relieve pain more than Savella. Tho Savella helped me over the hump to feeling bett ...
