Effexor

Just prescribed Effexor(lowest dose) for the continued 'weaning' of my estrogen replacement.
Anyone experienced with this drug?
My hyster still in my mind has been a good choice,physically things were and are great but emotionally,different story!
Anxiety at times has been through the roof!

THANKS ALL.

Re: Effexor

Effexor will help your mood and anxiety, if you are still taking it. Be very careful not stop taking it randomly, it is awful to come off of quickly. Also, if you miss a dose you will feel the effects (dizzy, disoriented). I find I sweat more on the medication, especially when I am getting ready in the morning for some reason. Other than that it works really well for me.

Note: the times I have gone off it for a while I have weaned off it by switching to Prozac, as it leaves the system slowly opposed to the rapidness of Effexor.
