Re: Claire - Kathe Effexor Dennis

[Guest guest]

Hi Dennis:

I absolutely agree with you 100% that people do need

to investigate the medications they take. I was not

necessarily suggesting that she take Effexor XR by any

means, but was just mentioning what I took and what

had helped me. Everyone's system is different and

what works for one will not necessary work for

another.

Just wanted to let people know that it is something

discuss with your doctor (depression), and between the

two of you, and research, you will hopefully find

something to help. A lot of people bury depression

and are afraid to ask for help when they need it, and

I just wanted to say it is not a weakness to be

depressed to the point that you need medication, it

has helped me. Thanks for your insight into the

question, and I hope that Xanax continues to be of

help to you.
