Patrick: Could you elaborate on this, I am quoting from your post: "No idea why the others didn't. Believe it or not, once the symptoms went away I had to relearn "real" symptoms like muscels that ached from simply hiking! Before the normal aches and pains were masked by the debilitating symptoms of chronic fatigue." What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean that your soreness from hiking was a symptom from a real disease that you had been ignoring and writing off to anxiety? Or, did you mean that you felt so great on Effexor that you didn't even notice your soreness after hiking and had to relearn how to feel that? I really want to understand what you mean. AP

Thanks for your responses. Can I ask if you had any side effects when you started taking effexor ? Were you previously on something else ? What made you change if you were ?

Thank you for your responses, may ask to go onto it when I next see my psych. Have been on mirtazapine for two years now, and I think sometimes your body just gets used to one particular one, and becomes ineffective

No, I didn't gain weight. I'm a guy, maybe that is why, we seem to have high metabolisms. But then I'm pretty active and work out too. Not a big eater per se. I think it is an SSRI but you could look it up on the web to make sure. It's worked so well for me I almost forget what it is and how it works. I can tell you my doc' and I had been working on my symptoms a long time and I finally went to him and said, "I'm going to die, I just can't go on." That's when he started trying Paxil, Welbutin and finally Effexor that worked. No idea why the others didn't. Believe it or not, once the symptoms went away I had to relearn "real" symptoms like muscels that ached from simply hiking! Before the normal aches and pains were masked by the debilitating symptoms of chronic fatigue. I'll have to take it the rest of my life but it saved my life.

Did you gain weight on Effexor? Is it an SSRI? I took paxil for 3 years and gained a ton of weight.

I've been taking Effexor for at least ten years and then switched to Effexor extended release. All I can say is it saved my life. From the first hour I took it I came out of a years long battle with chronic fatigue symptoms including debilitating anxiety, depression, sleep disorder and pain. It was like I had woke from a nightmare. I've had no side effects but it's not something you want to run out of. If you don't take it or miss a dose you will know it. It's expensive but the patent runs out soon, something like 2007.

I am going through a tough time at the moment, anxiety not too bad but depression has really kicked in. Currently taking mirtazapine but it has been suggested by my cpn that I might change to Effexor, and wondered if anyone has had any experience of using this ? I know it probably reacts differently with different people, but any help / advice would help. Scared it might be like seroxat, of which there has been enormous negative criticism.
