I've been on Effexor for 4 weeks now. The first week the medication worked well for me and gave me a sort of numb, zombie type feeling. i had less obsessive thoughts, my anxiety lessened tenfold, and my depression was a lot better. The first 3 days I was on 37.5 mg, and after that I took 75 mg. Unfortunately, since then, this medication isn't doing much for me. I'm back to the same old, depressed and anxious me. I'm wondering if I start to increase my dosage, whether I'll start to feel better again, because I can't go on like this. The worst part is, I don't even have a psychiatrist or even a family doctor with which to discuss my dosage with - though I'm in the process of getting one.
Anyone on this medication have any insights into this?
Thank you
