Do SSRI Antidepressants Stop Working?

Actually I wouldn't mind hearing other folks experiences with either switching from Cipralex to Venlafaxine XR or just about experiences with Venlafaxine in general.
 
Thanks

Hi All:
 
Well apparently they do "poop out" at least mine did.  I was taking Cipralex (AKA Lexapro) 15mg .  The doc determined there was no point increasing an extra 5mg to the 20mg maximum dosage.   So I am switching to Venlafaxine XR (AKA Effexor XR).  I will be decreasing my Cipralex each week and increasing the Venlafaxine XR at the same time.  This process will happen over the next 3 weeks at the conclusion of which I should be off Cipralex completely and pretty much at the working dosage of the Venlafaxine XR.  I don't have a lot of experience with these types of meds and none at all with Venlafaxine XR.
 
I just hope I don't go thru a world of hurt with side effects.

Hi Breezin,
 
This is a great question to ask your doctor and oppinions of other member.  I have read that some antidepressants can lose effectiveness overtime but this does not mean that this will happen for all individuals. Members, what are your thoughts?
