I began having anxiety when I was caregiver for my husband who had non-hodgkins lymphoma, and was diagnosed with breast cancer myself.
That was in 1997. Since then I have tried various medications off and on. My family doctor finally suggested effexor a couple years ago (right before I was diagnosed with a recurrance) and it seemed to do the trick.
I keep ativan around for those emergency moments although the longer I'm on effexor, the fewer I have.
Best to you.
