hi, im on effexor and have been taking for just over two weeks. it says it takes two weeks to work. I do feel much better but not completely yet, how long do i need to stay on them? also i take 2 a day, it says take 1 twice a day with food, should i really be taking them at set times? does it matter if it works out i have had 3 in 24 hours by taking one at 10 in morning and one 9 next morning? would be gratefull of some advice?

Hi

You need to take them for as long as the doctor recommends - usually 6 months to a year in the first instance.

i take mine whenever I get up whether that is 7am or 1pm!
