Venlafaxine
depression
"I have been on and off this med 3 times this year. There is just nothing else that works as good as this med does for me. I've tried sertraline 25mg, bupropion 75mg, bupropion SR 75mg and fluoxetine 20mg, but those had no positive outcome like venlafaxine. I was taking 75mg for 3 months on 2 separate occasions and goodness this med kept my mood on the bright side despite any stressors thrown at me this year. I've recently gone back down to 37.5mg a day because after a while this med did seem to make me forget to take it at times and it also left me emotionless. I wasn't depressed anymore, but I couldn't feel happy for all of the little things either. I was just too "chill," too content. this med turned my life around! God bless!!"
