Anyone have any experience with these two? I am starting the base dose Effexor (37.5) with my usual Focalin regimen of 10MG 1-2x daily.
It's a little too early I believe to speculate how it's been for me so far, anyone done these two long term?

I would let your physician know.
The best way to stop Effexor XR is very slowly.
In psychiatry we call this a discontinuation syndrome.
It is known that Effexor XR can be difficult to stop.

Yes, without exception with every medication there are some hellish stories associated. Different people have various tolerances and sensitivities. One person can take 10mg of Valium and feel alert, awake, aware and unaffected, another person can take...

Hi Crystal,
I'm on Effexor , but only at 75mg, I haven't been on anything above that.

I am at the point of what you before, as has someone else who has tapered off effexor.
And Effexor have a shorter half life than Zoloft though, could be that.
