- Shelia S. (North Carolina):

I have battled depression for over 20 years, But it wasn't until 1984, that I was formally diagnosed with depression. A former teacher and stay-at-home mom, my condition caused me to miss out on valuable time with my children, my husband, and my career. But I didn't give up. I knew that I needed to try another therapy, so my doctor prescribed EFFEXOR XR. On this medication, I felt I had reached a new level in my recovery. I began noticing that my symptoms had eased and gained a new perspective on my life. I became closer to my children, family, and friends and began dating and enjoying my social life once again. Today, I credit my successful treatment with Effexor XR in helping me get back to the important things in my life, and allowing me to laugh out loud again. I share my story with other depression sufferers and continue to challenge them not to settle for how they are feeling, but to take an active role in finding the treatment that works best for them.

- Clay G. (Georgia):

After living with depression for more than 20 years, I met a new doctor who prescribed Effexor XR to treat my depression. After years of coping with clinical depression, Effexor XR has given me a sense of mental balance. My doctor says I am now virtually symptom-free from depression. It won't be an uphill battle forever, and that's important to know, because it's hard to go through life thinking that it's going to be year after year of uphill battle. Thanks to Effexor XR, I have a new outlook and am proud to say that, as for the second half of my life, I'm really looking forward to it.
