Its a pretty powerful drug and I just wonder if it's the answer to my IBS. They have me taking wellbutrin as well. With the thought that if they can lower my anxiety the IBS symptoms will get better. I also have trouble sleeping so, with them throwing all these prescriptions my way, I don't know what normal feels like anymore.

After about a month my IBS 90% disappeared. I love the stuff:) Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Yep.       #254516 - 03/26/06 06:07 AM Edit Reply Quote Yoda (formerly Hans) Reged: 01/22/03 Posts: 3682 Loc: Canada I'm not taking effexor anymore, but I was on (and still am) on wellbutrin. Remember, it takes quite a long time (up to 12 weeks) to see results. -------------------- Formerly HanSolo. IBS, OCD, Bipolar, PTSD times 3.
