I am currently switching from Paxil to Effexor. Was wondering if anyone has used Effexor??

Yep, I also went from Prozac, to Paxil to Effexor. The Effexor by far has worked the best.

Yes, I was on Paxil for about a year, and have been on effexor for about 5 years, now. Although I am up to 225 mg, it works good for me. It helps with irritability and aggitation for me, although I still feel some depression, but I don't want to be on another pill for depression, like wellbutrin, so I deal with it.

I use effexor, have been on it for two years ( 3 / 75mg per day ), does great. Higher dosages makes me sleepy and I don't like it then.

effexor is good but watch for painfull brain surges should you miss a dose or go off the meds cold turkey and not wean'd off them

My husband used it for several years and never had any problems with it. I also have a friend who currently takes it and she said she feels like a new person. Good Luck to you!

Yes I tried it for about a month. It worked at first and then symptoms got worse.
