I wish you the best of luck with it. Not to scare you, but Effexor XR was the *worst* med I have ever been on... 40-lb weight gain in 3 months... withdrawls were awful... but everyone is different and I've heard of people who have loved it and been on it successfully for years so don't let my story discourage you!
If you've had good experiences with SSRIs like Zoloft or Paxil, etc. in the past you have a good chance of going okay on Effexor... they're not exactrly the same but close.
Best-- K
