"i am 46 yrs old and have taken effexor since 2000. it helps me balance myself. it really works and it calms myself down and relax. but never miss it for a day or so it will give you dizziness or nausea. i would let the people out there know that effexor is the best antidepressant. it makes me focus my life on everything. thank you for saving my life effexor."
