lestat Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi all,As you may or may not know I've struggled to find a med that works since going off aropax. Zoloft didn't feel like it helped.I've been on Effexor only 3 days and I feel pretty good. I've heard of people feeling good almost immeditaley, but that it only lasts for a few days and they then crash.I wouldn't say I feel Euphoric by any means, or that all my symptoms of anxiety have disappeared. I'm just feeling quite relaxed and happier.I really hope this feeling lasts and this is the right med for me.Suprisingly I haven't experienced many side effects yet. On zoloft and aropax I was really quesy and had rough sleep patterns, and the effects took weeks and weeks to subside. My anxiety is up a little at times, and my mouth is dry, but I'm not really bothered by that.I only came off zoloft saturday so maybe I still have some sertraline in my blood and tht's helping me feel good.I'll keep you all updated and if I keep feeling good like this I will be able to post a success story.Here's hoping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its wrong in general to give medication to such young people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
