Antidepressant withdrawal while taking them?

Hi
Wandering if anyone has tried Effexor XR?
I was taking Lexapro 10 mg (weaned down from 20 mg). Since I am still feeling a tad depressed, when I saw my nurse practitioner on 12/26 . She spoke with the doctor and they recommenced that I try Effexor once in the am and increase to two tabs after 1 week. Just wondering if anyone is using this medication and can share any results?
Thanks,

I have had much success with Effexor! I am currently 150 mg 1x daily with no issues, worries or concerns. Good luck to you!

Please do your research, including on this site. Effexor is one of if not the worst drug to stop. I know; I have been on it for many years and tried twice to stop. It will take two to three years for me to wean off. The side effects and then withdrawal symptoms are horrific. The drug should not be prescribed without a warning, as they do in the UK, but not yet in the US.
