Hi folks,
I've been prescribed what's known over here as Efexor XL (venlaxafine)
75mg a day.
I've been told it's very popular and would take approx 5 weeks to take effect.
Well I've been taking them for approx 5 weeks now for stress, anxiety, depression etc.
Have any of you good folks heard or been prescribed Efexor, and if so did you feel a positive effect.
I'm really struggling just now (you'll recognize symptoms)
Horrendous tiredness, stressed out, very emotional, being afraid and no idea what I'm afraid of, trying not to cry.
No notion to go out......I've have'nt been out for about two weeks.
Though I must tell you I'm not curled up in the corner of my room. I keep trying to motivate myself to do "something" even it's it's only working on my computor and my web site.
I just don't have the fight or inner strength in me anymore to live this life as I used to. (I've always found life very difficult)
I was hoping the Efexor would help, but ther'e been no noticeable
change within in me.
All that sounds very negative, but I can still laugh and smile.
Cheers,
key.
Any comments would help me, but don't show sympathy or you'll have me crying my eyes out
