I believe that depression and anxiety disorders...are both chemical, inherited in nature and also situational. I really believe in my case the groundwork was there, drastic life crisis that all hit at once set them into action.
Must be kinda like what they say about that gay thing....some are born that way and some come from choice.....

Hi all. I was first tried on Eff-XR a couple years ago and thought I would lose my mind. I know I took it once a day, I believe morning. Can't recall all the in-betweeners since then.
In April 2004 I started it again.
Now, it is working so well that I have to say it is the best med out of the countless I've tried. I have been printing your posts about stopping/withdrawal if, in fact, that time should come for me, and appreciate so much.
I know I have mentioned this before; but, one more time, ...
A slow metabolizer is one who uses Eff-XR FAST and there is not enough left in your body to treat you throughout a whole day. A slow metabolizer is one who uses Eff-XR FAST and there is not enough left in your body to treat you until 3:00 in a day.
A fast or normal metabolizer is one who uses Eff-XR evenly throughout the day, bit by bit, working properly, effectively, as long as they are supposed to, which I guess I'll say again, a day.
I can't be the only slow metabolizer out there?!
In a slow metabolizer, med gets depleted early on in the liver area, and what is left is much less, not enough to last properly; opposite of that of a fast/normal metabolizer; so the med will not be productive throughout your day unless the follow-up dose is taken pre- the time of day you feel like you're going to mentally lose it!
So, if anyone is on a one-a-day dosage, or twice a day (but taking very late in day), and feels mentally well for only part of their day, consider poor metabolization of Eff-XR as the problem.
The answer to poor metabolization is FOLLOW-UP DOSE and WHEN taken.
Your docs prob' won't talk much about this. Had to read about this, and turn myself into a guinea pig to realize the great results.
Just thought I'd post this again, because no one has ever responded to my postings about this, and it has turned Eff-XR into the most effective med ever.
When I took Eff-XR am, and pm (dark outside-nearing bedtime-after dinner), I would have already begun to lose it mentally/anxiously somewhere that mid afternoon.
Again posting, just if by chance anyone recognizes this sort of thing having happened, or currently happening. best wishes cf

Hi Corafree. I'm taking Effexor just the third week so far, feel okay, but still depressed and anxious a bit. Besides, I wake up at 5-6 am, and can't sleep after. After I said all this to my doc, he said to divide my dose into two portion and take twice a day. So, your recomendation really make sense! And also doc said that I can adjust the time of taking effexor according to my feelings as long as I'm taking it with food. I guess my doc is not so indifferent as many others, huh? He also said that we'll see how it goes for a month, and then will make a decision.

Hi Corafree,
I wonder if no one has said anything to you because they are confused, as I am, by something that you said. Usually, if you metabolize something slowly, it takes longer to make it through your system and stays in the body longer. That's why people with a slow metabolism have a hard time losing weight.
People with a fast metabolism usually process things quickly, food, meds, etc. Logically, they would need the drug sooner; but anything is possible here. As I've said, I'm no scientist.
When I started taking Effexor, there were many things going on in my world that were difficult for me to deal with, but I still don't think that a drug could make this any easier for me, nor did it make it easier. It only put a mask over my senses and made me care less as my business went down the tubes and I mourned the loss of my Mom, my unborn child and the man that I loved. This was three years ago, and time tends to heal most wounds. I don't know how long you can take Effexor before its more troubling side effects kick in, but it was also some time ago that I read something about weight gain in people that take it for more than a year. (Shopping today made the weight loss obvious. It was very fun to shop at Bebe and have everything fit :-) )
As with all things, there is a risk/reward ratio; and if the rewards are on your side, then the drug is worth taking. Be sure to monitor yourself for symptoms of the same discomfort that caused you to take the drug in the first place. This is just a guess, but an educated one: Once you are stabilized and feel comfortable with the dosage that your doctor has you on, if you being feeling the need to increase the dosage sometime after that because, for example, you are beginning to feel anxious and depressed and you are starting to gain weight for no reason at all; you might look at that as a sign that it's time to move on.
Also, along with great healthcare, if it's at all possible, you will do yourself an enormous favor if you can eat organic fruits and veggies, try to avoid sugar, get as much exercise as you are able to, and drink lots of water. You will be helping both your body and your mind to stay healthy. And always remember that you deserve the very best!!
Best of luck to you on your journey!

Ms. Dancingstar,
Excellent post and to the point. I agree with everything that you have said. AD will not make life's issues or crisis go away. Hopefully they will help control true depression and anxiety issues. I have had family members put on for example, Zoloft because they were facing personal issues, but I don't think they were truly depressed. Unhappy with their life at the moment, Yes. I have also had familiy members that were classic manic depressants, real nut jobs, they most definately needed the lithium plus route and time in the rubber room. I totally agree with your exercise and diet suggestion. I follow both, after giving up alcohol, I don't feel as guilty having an after dinner bowl of lowfat, low carb ice cream! I have been through my share of major life crisis over the past 5 years, more than I wish, of course, but God choose for me to suffer thru these, I hope to make me stronger. I have learned that you have to find inner strength to stand up and deal with whatever the crisis maybe. You can't runaway, because they stay right behind you and there isn't an AD or Benzo on the market that will solve your life crisis. I think to many people are asking for an AD when talk therapy would be a much more viable solution. Now I am rambling again, see what insomnia does!

Hey Invisiblemanpa,
I love that name, by the way, I recognized your brilliance as soon as I began to read through the posts.
As much as I want to, it's hard for me to slam a drug that might have the potential for doing good for someone out there if it is prescribed under the proper conditions and circumstances. I just can't help but wonder, though, if something is so terrible coming out of your body, how it can possibly be good for you while it is inside you.
Yes, I agree that there isn't anything wrong with any kind of ice cream as long as you don't eat a quart or a half gallon at a time or it doesn't make you physically ill because you don't tolerate dairy well.
Do you find that you don't crave sweets as much since being off of Effexor? I am able to taste things more, and even though I eat Splenda, not sugar, I don't need much because all of my senses are back to normal again, and I have lost my cravings. This is all so bizarre to me.
Hope you catch up on your sleep today :-)

Ms. Dancing Star,
I totally agree...there is something very wrong on a simplistic level, that if we put something in our body and our body reacts telling us that it does not want it in it....yes Effexor is probably doing wonders for some people. I would certainly hope so, as I know there are millions still on it. Yeah, I do the Splenda thing to, in any icecream, homemade oatmeal cookies.....As I have high hopes for Cymbalta, I also have high hopes for loosing the weight I have gained though to most it is not noticable. But it is to me! I exercise everyday sometimes 2 plus hours when I have the time, eat the lowfat, almost veg diet and sorta low carb, I love pasta. But on the Effexor my weight would not budge and my cholesterol skyrocketed. My Psy doc added Remeron in July when I knew the Effexor was really not working. As the Cymbalta kicks in, I plan on ditching ther Remeron to (I hope), and maybe that will change my metabolism......my friends laugh and say it is just part of the aging process.....Well I am only in my mid forties and can't accept that. And yes thanks for the sleep wish. I fell asleep this afternoon as soon as I got back from church and my head hit the pillow....I love the mornings.....but 2:30 or 3:00 is just a little to early! Plus waking up every half hour or so. As I said before, being so exhausted, it's really hard to get a handle if the Cymbalta is having any positive impact yet. At least I am not having side effects. I hope when the Cymbalta kicks in I can get back to some normal dreams that make sense and maybe even starting dreaming about sex again!

I'm not familiar with the drugs that you are taking...but that doesn't mean anything. I don't know about that many of these drugs.
If you don't see any difference, before you try something else, why don't you just try St. John's Wort? Again, I acknowledge my ignorance here, but I like the idea of doing less rather than more.
My stomach is still not happy, and it's been so long now; and I'm having the opposite problem that you are. Yesterday and today I slept until 1:00 p.m. Not good at all. During the week I have to do a minimum amount of work for my business, but I also have a fair amount of homework for school as I'm taking three classes this quarter. It's been really tough to do as I started school at the same time that I decided to quit Effexor. Believe me, I didn't plan it this way. It was one of those God things. My Mom used to say: "People plan and God laughs."
No, I don't believe in forties' weight gain either. For cholesterol, you might try low sugar; almost no starches; healthy fats, i.e. salmon, avacado, veganese instead of mayonese, not butter or margerine, olive oil; not flour but corn tortillas. Some grains are okay as long as they are not processed, like white flour. It's just a suggestion, but I know it's kind of tough.
Have a great Sunday!!

I have got to say that I enjoy reading the postings on this site. It gives me an insight to the effects that this medication gives to such a variety of people. Like with any drug, it does depend on your general health, your lifestyle whether sedentary or athletic, your diet and metabolism, and any other medications that you are taking as to how much of a theraputic effect the drug will have and if and how severe the negative side effects will be.
I was started on the Effexor xr because I had been going through so many stressful situations with my own health and the abrupt loss of my health, lifestyle, career that I loved,and family situations. I had gotten to the point where I had uncontrolled crying, severe mood swings, insomnia, and such a low feeling of self esteem that it could have become very dangerous if left unaddressed.
Although now after being on the Effexor xr for 2 1/2 years in varying doses, I am able to function throughout the daily life without having manic episodes and taking them out on my husband. I do have a more functional social outlook, and do get out of the house when the weather is fitting on my own, to relieve the "stir crazy" effect that being disabled has given me. I am able to actually be a functioning productive contributing part of the family now instead of spending all my time in bed or not even motivated to bathe and pay attention to my appearance. I went through all those signs of severe manic depression. Yes I have had a weight gain, but I contribute a great part of that to the fact that I have not been able to be physically active due to my disability, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and poor pulmonary functions. I was acutely ill with a crippling disorder and then less than a year later, had a permanently damaging case of interstitial pneumonia that nearly killed me. To top that all off after given the choice of continuing to smoke and die soon, or quit and live a bit longer, I stopped smoking and started eating. This was all such a dramatic change from the role of caregiver that I had enjoyed so much in my career and home, that it either initiated or potentiated such a severe depression that I lost all self esteem and feeling of self worth and felt that I was a burden on everyone. I am a nurse who loved her job, and a mother who loved being involved with her children and all their activities. I thank God every day that I had such a supportive family and such a patient, tolerant, caring, and loving husband that was able to help get me through this awful transition in my life. He is truly one of a kind.
Now, I am able to have an affectionate and fulfilling role as the home-maker and supporter of my husband's career choices. Whatever I physically am not able to do, he does for me without complaint. I spend as much time as possible with my grandson. I manage to keep my hands busy enough with creative craft and sewing projects that are very theraputic with self esteem issues as well. The feeling you get when you have completed something that has turned out beautiful is very theraputic.
All I can say is that we all need to accept that we are going to have an effect from the drug whether it be positive or negative depends on the individual. For me, for now, the positive outweighs the negative.
If you feel that the negative effects outweigh the positive, then consult with your doc and see if there is something else that you could take that should deliver the theraputic effect you are seeking without the negative side effectthat you have experienced from the Effexor xr.
I hope that you all realize that your emotional and mental problems are more times than not due to something you have done or can even control. That is why we look to our physician for guidance and treatment. If you are not getting the support and help you need from your current doc. then find a new doc.
Best wishes to all.

I'm following up myself here.
A few months back I did some research on metabolization, posted it, and, found above. It is as follows:
I'm talking about Effexor here.
Yes, I am having success with it, after a bit of changing the dosage regimen. Upon first starting, I took my initial 75mg upon waking and took a followup of 37.5 at bedtime. I was experiencing side effects, mainly anxiety, from around 4-5p until bedtime.
I now take the follow-up dose of 37.5mg approx. 5 hours after taking my waking dose, and have virtually no anxiety or side effects, and it lasts all day! I can truly say it is the best drug I have ever been on, and I've been on all the SSRIs.
I am what is called a 'POOR METABOLIZER'.
Many factors go into the pharmacokinetics of a drug, making the dosage regimen individual to individuals.
There are EXTENSIVE METABOLIZERS (normal metabolizers) and, like me, POOR METABOLIZERS.
Some factors which go into deciding which you are, are: 1) hepatic drug clearance (low intrinsic clearance - the effect can be increased by giving a second liver enzyme boosting agent, and hepatic blood flow - how much is initially gobbled up by the liver, because the slower the flow, the higher the extraction, and vice-versa; 2) protein binding (drugs get stuck and can't go anywhere); and 3) ionization (highly ionized drugs cannot cross lipid membranes and basically can't go anywhere.)
So, dosage regimens should depend upon whether you are a slow metabolizer or an extensive (normal) metabolizer.
It took me a while to realize I was a slow metabolizer and that I would actually need more of a drug.
(p.s. since then have increased Eff-XR dosage)

Got your message, even if it wasn't the one you fully intended, Corafree, and you have perhaps given me some insights as to why I am in absolute hell tonight, almost three weeks later when I haven't done anything to earn this pain. The nonstop nausea, even now, at midnight is enough to drive me stark-raving mad, and I am a sane and normally rational woman.
Something you said about fat metabolism triggered a thought that tips me off to the idea that as this weight has fallen back off of me, all on its own -- well, with the help of the stomach problems, I imagine -- it's allowed for the free flow of chemicals into my body that had been previously stored somewhat benignly as fat. As they are released, I'm becoming more and more poisoned, but I'm feeling too sick to eat very much.
Pepcid, I've got to go find some Pepcid and try to go to sleep....

Yep, I think you're on the right track. You may have an overload of meds/poisons in your system. Keep in mind. I took Dulcolax and it wasn't comfortable, but meds or lack of, must be working as should now, as I feel quite a bit less anxious and depressed this evening. It's so systemically mind-boggling. Get your Pepcid and rest. wishbest cf

I have been on Effexor now for 4 and 1/2 years. I just found out I now have liver damage, the tachcardia, uncontrolable bronichal spasms are all because of the Effexor. It was suggested in November of 2001 that a 6 month thearapy is all that should be used. I am now screwed for life as the damage to my liver is irreversible. Please make sure your doctors monitor the Medical Libraries on the effects of this drug. It's too late for me.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I gather that your doctor wasn't doing regular blood tests, which at least my internist does.
Have you stopped taking it yet? I am better today. I guess it's officially three weeks. Yesterday I still felt pretty sick to my stomach all day long.
Thinking back to when I started taking Effexor, I realize that I must have been feeling symptoms of fibromyalgia and not have realized it. My friend's brother, Robert Braun, a family practice doctor let me try it cause he had lots and lots of samples in his office, and it gave me the energy that I was missing; so I kept taking it. I guess I had forgotten about the whole thing until right now. How stupid!!!!! I had back pain and was feeling exhausted; that's what it was.
I hope you feel better, get stronger, heal, and if you have to stop taking the Effexor, well, you will be okay :-). Hang in there!!

I have just recently been removed off of it. I changed doctors and it was the new physicain which found the problems. The heptic panels were all coming back within normal clinical range at the other physicain but a supposed robbery has prevented us from getting my original records. I know there my be withdrawal but I will get through it and we just got word today that one of my daughters is a candidate for a living donor transplant when the time comes. I do not fear the outcome only that so many are being treated and the physician do not seem to keep up with the research being done. All my research is coming through WHO (World Health Organization) Please try to be vigilant in your own medical care. So many new drugs and research is out there that there is no way your doctors can.

Good Lord I pray my liver is fine as I have been on effexor 4 years and I have been going down from 300mgs the last three months. ( Just dropped to 2 37's) Heard on another post that someone died from complications, and I do believe it. I started off with a bottle of 60 150 mgs and then I found out about effexor. Thank God I had a large supply as I was to take 2 a day. My first drop was fine from 300 to 75 for 3 weeks. Then every 10 days or so I lower it just a little . I have helpful meds like Klonipin and anti nasuea, anti hystimine, anti diareal, and fortunatly some prozac. My dr wanted me off in 6 weeks so he gave me alot of prozac and some 37's and sent me home. Obviously I didn't follow his advice because I would be dead or to sick to type....So I started with a plan.
1. I accidently started off with a large supply of effexor and I suggest others to not mention help to get off without being prepared with enough effexor to come down slow, like 4 months.
That was in my favor accidently.
2. After studying what helped others and what I was going to have to deal with, I prepared. Lets face it. Preparation yields the greatest success.
3 I asked my dr for prozac to help with withdrawals, as they seem to know enough to do that.
4 I also asked for a anti hystimine sprayer for headaches which come with withdrawal.
5 Someone suggested 25 mgs at a time come down so thats working for me.
6 Save all pebbles you pour out in a bottle. You don't need a capsul to take it . I measure mine into a capsull, pour on tounge and drink water. There is no taste. ( I scoop up so much with a clear vitamine capsule I emptied out. )
for 300 mgs I am giving myself 4 or 5 months, and things are going smooth. Patience is a good thing.When I drop in dosage I take prosac for about 3 or 4 days , with an anti nasuea pill as I only feel a bit wierd in my head and small tummy ache.
Buy an anti diareal if needed.
I have almost died twice comming off effexor , so I hope this will encourage others and give them wisdom to better survive the withdrawels.
If you are thinking of going off as the side affects are bad, like loss of vision, hypermania, anxioty, agitation, high blood pressure, memory problems, no sex feelings,bad insomnia ,dehidrating night sweats, thyroid problems and more. I had all the above except h.blood presure. Changed my vision 3 times this year already! I pray I have helped others. God Bless, and don't forget to pray and ask God to help provide all you need for the best recovery and look forward to the restoration of your mind. I know I am. Jubilee

Yes it can kill you. I am dying of liver disease because of it. I only wish I had known of the dangers before I started taking it. I can only hope that others will be saved by these postings. I read peoples posts that think this drug helps them and remember when I too thought it was a wonder drug. Anyone still on this drug please listen to the warnings and stop taking it. I'm not afraid of dying but I'm not rezdy to leave my children and Grandchildren. Effexor XR has left me no choice. You may still have a choice. Please stop.

I am on 2 37's now and can hardly wait to finish. Going one more month. Going slow has made it barrable. I am so sad for your Loss but my God who sent his Son Jesus has healed me of many things ,even incurable like incurable Gonerea my grandfather gave me.
