One thing Efexor has done for me is enabled me to talk about my problems with people. Before Efexor I didn't talk to anyone about my problems, I was just a time bomb ready to go off. I use to wonder why people seemingly & needlesly comitted suicide, but then I got so depressed myself that I realized why...
As for Efexor pooping out, that may or may not happen. Some people need an ever increasing dose of SSRI's/Benzos/Stimulants/MAOIs, some people can have the same dose for years. YMMV as they say.
Cheers,
