Over the past 3 1/2 months I have been taking Effexor. I started at 37/5mg, then gradually increased to 300mg with 5 weeks. Effexor did nothing for me. Throughout that time I also took Zanax, Ativan and Clonazepam. I take Seroquel and Remeron to help me sleep which seems to work as I now get 5-6 hours a night instead of the 2-3 I was geting on Effexor. After getting a second opinion I am now taking Cipralex. Has anyone taken Cipralex and what, if any, side effects did you experience.
