hi folks-just looking around for info re long term side effects of treatment and came across you lot ranting away on your keyboards!

My doc recently started me on Effexor ive been on it 3 days How long does it take to start feeling the good effect from this med?

This medication does have some start up or transient side effects associated with it. That means that early on while taking it, a person can have short term side effects as their body gets used to the medication. They typically go away and the drug should be up and working by 6 to 8 weeks. It is disappointing that you are feeling your anxiety worsen but again this could be due to the transient nature of early side effects. You've only been on it for a week.

During all of this time I have been for the most part stable. missing a dose has immediate side effects which I actually appreciated because it would remind me to take the drug.

I am 33 yrs old and after having my first child 4 years ago I have been on Venlofaxine anti depressants. however, I am unsure if this symptom belongs to the effects of the drug.

I have difficulty concentrating during these spells and find it difficult to remember simple words. My speach can be effected and a dizzy like sensation sweeps over me.

In May this year my anxiety came back. So my gp put me on Serdep 100mg. The side effects are bad and my anxiety not better. I am thinking of going back and change to Venaflaxine. Used it for 4 years and felt much better than with the Sertraline.

She's fallen 4 times in the last week and is covered with bruises, new and old. She is now taking 14mg per day and can't stop. She has been in two different detox facilities but as soon as she gets out, she starts taking it again. She is basically an invalid.
