Has anyone out there had a positive experience with Effexor Xr?

I've had a wonderful experience on it! I've been taking it for about 7 months and I love it. I no longer feel crazy and depressed and my life has completely did a 180. I feel so much better that I think I'm ready to taper down (of course I will consult my doctor first). I'm also at 75mg. I hope it works out for you, too!
