Tim,
I also have been on a variety of medications off and on for about 3 years, Paxil, Xanax (which I liked since I only took it as needed and it worked fantastically), and a couple of others I don't remember.
I am on Day 4 of 37.5 mg Effexor XR, and have noticed a total turnaround. There are even times when I feel almost elated with life. Yesterday I was 'accused' of being cheerful! LOL My sense of humor is returning, and as I said before in other posts, my sex drive is back to when I was 19.
The only thing that sort of scared me, was that this morning I was looking forward to taking my meds, and am looking even more forward to day 8 when I get to up the dose....
I am very happy to see that you have had such great results also. Obviously each drug works differently depending on people's conditions, and you and I just fit the 'deficiencies' required for Effexor XR perfectly.
Happy thoughts
Liz

However, I am absolutely certain that after being a "psyche patient-lab rat" for years, I've finally found something that works FOR ME (I now am on 250mg of EffexorXR)!
