Hello there i am 44 male diagnosed with social anxiety since many years ago
i did take venlafaxine xr for 5 years and i think worked fine, after 5 years i stop taking it and because of family problems i started to suffer terrible anxiety and depression so i decided to go back on effexor xr , i have been on it at 150 mlg for 3 weeks and 3 days and i still feel bad my anxiety is a bit better but my mood still very down and i just want to stay in bed all day with very low motivation when i took effexor long time ago i do remember that in the 3er week i was feeling very good and now i dont feel even close to that!! i am afraid that the med is not working? can anyone on effexor xr can tell me how long takes to start working for real? please tell me
thanks
