Hey guys
After spending 7 months on Citalopram and going up doses and having no response, my psychiatrist has just put me on Effexor. Is it just me or does it start to work very quickly. I have only been on them since Friday and I have this very peaceful state come over me. I am also feeling very truamatised after having the last seven months in a massive state of anxiety. Having this peasceful state at the moment is just devine!!!!!
My psychiatrist told me they would start to fully work after 3 weeks, but I'm already very rational and don't have as many crazy thoughts running through my head.
I have had no side effects so far, unlike citalopram which made me very sick for the first five days.
My feelings feel a little thwarted at the moment but I am feeling emotional at times, but real emotions!!! Not like when I was on Citalopram which made me like an emotionless Zombie.
Anyone else experiences this instant calmness?
Would love to hear from you and your experiences on this drug.
Thanks
