> Hi! I have been prescribed Effexor XR for my chronic headaches. I have been taking this for about 2 weeks and have only had a couple of headaches since, as opposed to having a headache EVERYDAY! So, it seems to be working.

One of the original reasons I started on Nardil was for migraine headaches. Helped tremendously! Ever since that pooped out I've tried a lot of things, including Effexor XR but I was not a lucky as you...it did nothing for my migraines and when taking it with Serzone, I was in a real foggy-zombie state...so it was dropped. Many years ago Tofranil also helped with my migraines.
Right now on Remeron and have only really had 4-5 migraines in almost 4 months...so I have to say that's pretty good for me. Hope the Effexor XR continues to do the trick for you.
