Hello folks

Maybe you can help me, I have had GAD with OCD for about 5 years, I really suffered tried CBT for years, excerise until I finally tried meds this april 2009.

I started on effexor, my dose is 75 mg, 37.5 in the morning 37.5 at night , instant release. I was amazed at how they worked, with little side effects I fealt flippin great after a few weeks on them!

They popped out on me for a few days, and I got a period where I was very tired and depressed, then they worked again. Then they popped out again. Then they worked again. And they popped out about a week ago and they dont seem to be kicking back in!

All this over a few months of being on them.

What the hell do you think is going on, I dont think my GP has a clue, it seems the meds do agree with me, but I feel kinda sad, tired and anxious when they pop out, not that im over whelemd just that I know they are not working.

Do you think I need to speak to my GP about going up to 150 ? If so what why should he increase?

Or do you think its a mood stablizer I need.

Before effexor I never really fealt depressed. Only anxious all the time worrying about my health.



Please please advise would love to fix this!!


Please note I cant take XR as I cant swallow pills!
