Hi everyone. I hope all is well. I've been on Effexor XR since 8/10/07. I take it for Depression (even though I was diagnosed as Bipolar, I don't think that I am as I've NEVER been manic), Anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Diorder. I started at the 37.5mgs for a week and then went up to 75mgs as directed by my GP. Has anyone else taken this? If so, how long were you on it before you noticed that it was working? I know everyone's body is different but I would just like to hear from other people that are taking it or have taken it. I've been on pretty much every SSRI there is. Any info and stories would be very helpful.
