I have been on Effexor XR for a couple of months now and it really has helped me out. I am on 75mg. and I am 32 years old. My husband and I want a child and we are not giving up on that dream. I for sure won't give up on it anyways. I was doing real good for awhile then I had some family members from out of town come in and the whole time they were here I had an attack. I wouldn't have to raise the dosage would I?
