All antidepressants work differently on different people. I feel well on Effexor SR combined with klonopin.
I took it, 75mg was not enough for me I took 225mg.
No one can say how it will work for you. You have to try it for 8 weeks or so to see how it goes, it worked great for me.
It is a slow process and requires patience. sometimes at the beginning there are bad side effects which wear off with time.
Good Luck to you
Worked for me at 75mg, then decreased effect. Now on 150mg and working fine.
Hi all,
I've been on Efexor XL now for exactly 4 weeks and a dose of 225mg for the last 2 weeks.
How long did it take everyone to start feeling any better?
Thanks

I am on a pretty high does of Effexor XR (375mg) but I thank my lucky stars that it works for me. I know such a high does isn't always great but it is what helps keep me well. Please give it time to work, you need to be patient with any anti-depressant and I have hear even more so with this medication.
I hope things work out well for you...
Thanks for the reply and your encouragement.
It's excellent that this medication is working for you, good stuff. :)
After scouring the internet for information it does seem that Effexor does take longer than most other anti-depressant medications to work but it is very easy to lose hope.
