"i gave this a high score because i got lucky. i went for years struggling with depression, weary of big pharma, self-medicating. finally a friend took me to a doctor. the first drug she prescribed was effexxor. i was prescribed the 75mg capsules. i found it to be too much for me, so i take one every other day. the only side effects i feel are from withdrawals if i skip a few days, and &#039;ditziness&#039; if you will. other than that, managing my depression has changed my life. my weight has even dropped because i used to self medicate with food. i do recommend taking only the lowest dose possible for your symptoms. i am not a big fan of prescription drugs, but this was a lifesaver for me."
