In reply to Effexor not working anymore?, posted by ReneM67 on August 4, 2003, at 21:36:48
My main question: Does he drink ANYTHING at all that contains alcohol? And I am not implying that he's an alcoholic if he did BUT alcohol negates Effexor's benefits. It'll set him back.

So, last week he went to the dr and they upped him to 150 mg a day. WOW! In two days I had the guy I married back! But, it only lasted about 4 days. Now he is really down again, says it is worse than before he started.
