Struggling with Effexor: Need Advice

Effexor did not help me, either. And going off of it is a bitch! Brain sparks and zaps will be normal for a while. Wellbutrin seems to be good for me, as well as Prozac

I am on Prozac, a few months after I started taking it, I was feeling a little too depressed. I found out about the drug Bupropion (Wellbutrin) It just to the edge off my Prozac, so I didn’t feel so awful anymore.

Worsening mental and physical symptoms since starting about 6 months ago. I’m only still on it because I have no idea if it’s due to the Effexor or not and just really want something to help before i decide to stop trying meds again. But getting to that point since I’m barely functioning now.

I’m struggling with the same medication, my depression and anxiety seems to be worse

Awww, im sorry. I personally found luck with Effexor, but I also found weight gain. It did work fairly fast for me personally, but again I felt really lucky. I hope you get some relief soon 💕

I’ve still been struggling with depression too. I’ve been on Effexor for almost three months. I’m also in a mood stabilizer and an antipsychotic, but the depression itself has not lifted yet.

i also just tried effexor for a few months and my psychiatrist just kept raising my dosage. my depression was no better and i had side effects like nausea and headaches everyday. i switched back to zoloft and it works better for me.
