"i&#039;ve been on effexor xr 150mgs for 3 weeks now and its really working for me. i&#039;ve been on a few other medicines and never did the job. i was hospitalized for severe depression and suicidal thoughts. they gave me this effexor and what a difference. i&#039;m a different person. i have tons of energy and those things that bothered me don&#039;t anymore."
