thats good for you
about me its long story i am pharmacist i never wanted to fallow with any doctors
i have fere from drugs so since i stared my journey i was too young 22 year old
i took 75mg and just stuck on it for long long long to be specific first 2 years i was not bad depressed but anxiety still there keep goes and come so i remember back then i was so patient so so patient i wanted to give my in power chance to fight not only relay on the drug alone
after 3 years passed from my start when i was 22 you can say am 90% cured
and the rest 6 years i was 100% normal healthy man then i star to feel i dont need the medicine any more because am pretty more than perfect nothing at all affects my mode even anxiety was like dream like i never experienced
and i took the wriest decision i ever made in my entire life to quite the best medicine saved my life
3 months later only 3 moths feeling like big big big rock heat me on the head and all memories start flow around my brain like am watching a movie
then i know it because the Effexor discontinuing
so i went back the same day to 75mg
and this time game changed i start feel the side effects never felt before in my whole 9 years journey and the medicine took me much much longer for any beginner with effexor to kick in
and in these 3 years i ben facing up and down and each time i keep sticking on same dose and suffer but get relief after few days but i keep powering my self as much i can because i remember me when i did it on same dose so i believe i still can do it but this time its harder than before
yes i need long long time but its worth to be patient and get remission on lowest dose better than just relay on increasing dose each time feeling worse
am not health care provider thats all my own opinion and each person differ of-course
all we need is strong faith and believe thats nothing stay forever
for me now am experiencing harder time because am on 75mg and am experiencing some side effects like back head tremors before go to sleep and when wake up with ears tinnitus
i dont know if anyone else experience the same while ben on same dose for long
am not sure if its sign thats the time for me to increase the dose just little from 75mg and add 37,5 to reach 112.5
hope i will be better soon
and also wish you will feel relief of all side effects as soon as possible my dear friend
best luck
