I took Effexor for at least 2 years to help treat depression and anxiety coupled with psychotherapy. I had already taken 3 other SSRI drugs that seemed to work for awhile but did not seem to continue their effectiveness over the long term. The same was true for Effexor.
I must also report that the side effects were not desirable. Night sweats and ringing in the ears that sometimes had a strobe effect that also caused strobing in my brain. (That is the best way I know how to describe this weird occurrence that reoccurred for months after I weaned off all medications.) The side effects seemed to be a ceiling I could not break through to continue to get better.
I do much better now through the healing of Jesus Christ and have to give God the credit and glory
