Paulos, remember that what I share is my experience only, everyone has different reactions to these medications, you'll need to discover what works best for you.

It took almost 4 months for the fogginess to go away for me. The best way I can describe it is like having my brain full of cobwebs. I also had to change the time of day I took the Effexor so that I could sleep. But once it started to work, it worked very well and life felt normal to me. I took it for a year and then tapered off with no side effects. No regrets whatsoever about taking it.
