Effexor Success
Hi! I am a 29 year old male and wanted to share my success with Effexor. In September of 2024, I was accused of misconduct towards a student by a parent because of a lesson I was teaching on “Dante’s Inferno”. I used a little coarse language (I.E “boobs”) in class and the parent emailed me after accusing me of attempted grooming. This really set me off. And since that point I was riddled with paranoid ideations, anxiety, doubt, constant debilitating thoughts. This even caused me to quit teaching.
In December of 2025, I was deteriorating at a rapid pace. I could barely function in my mind. I would spend hours just sitting because I couldn’t do anything without constant thoughts questioning every step I made. Well (Trigger warning ‼️) in late December, I for the first time in my life seriously considered ending my life. Not because of depression, but so that these thoughts would stop. I had gone to the doctor for help in February because I knew I was getting worse.
My doctor prescribed me Effexor. I had written out a general list of symptoms I experience daily as well as reoccurring issues. My sister takes Effexor with great results and so I asked to try that because I was so afraid of antidepressants. She prescribed me a starting dose of 37.5 MG.
I expected to see signs of symptoms within 6 weeks as she indicated at the appointment. However, I saw immediate positive results. I no longer had paranoid ideations, was able to make decisions without the back log of continual “decision trees”, I was able to rest, I was able to go on walks without fear. In short, I was able to live again. And since then, it’s been 8 weeks. I love the place I am at. The only bad symptoms I have had is a low grade headache that happens once a week. I had one panic attack 4 days in, but that was because I was reading bad reviews of sexual dysfunction by Effexor on Reddit (definitely a bad idea haha). Other than that, I have had amazing results. I even think there is a chance (IN TIME) I could get off Effexor with CBT as my Psychiatrist indicated the other day.
Anyways, I wanted to share a real positive review :)
