"i have been on this medication for at least a year and a half. i started out with celexa which at the highest dose completely stopped working for me, i was in a panic, cry for help. i became so much more depressed and my behaviors were so impulsive. my dr started me of effexor and what a difference this medication has made in my life. my mood became stable, i am no longer angry at the world, and l don&#039;t have the desire to go back to the way i was before effexor. 
remember everyone, we are all individualized, some things may with for others better than ourselves!"
