Effexor Question

[karen z]

I think if you are experiencing anxiety and depression you will fee better (may take awhile) if you get on something. One thing to remember is that there are a lot of "anti-depressant" drugs and just because one does not work (or a dose doesn't work) does not mean you should give up. I think most people would agree that these drugs do work better on depression than anxiety (and that talk therapy might also be a good component to add). You might also ask you doctor about giving you something you could take (e.g., clonazepam) at night to get some sleep or on "rough" days. Such additional pills often help with anxiety "break through". Good luck.
