I am being treated for Generalized Anxiety Disorder with 75 mg. Effexor XR, and was wondering if anyone else posting to this board has this experience or any experience with anxiety? I felt so great for the first month on Effexor XR. I was able to concentrate and felt so focused. But it seems that I'm back to having to constantly be on the go. Can't sit still, can't read a book, can hardly read the postings on this board. Waking up two or three times a night, etc. I have a doctor's appointment next week and my thoughts are so disorganized that I'm not sure what to tell him about how I feel.
I have learned so much from reading this board although it seems to mainly be a discussion for Depression. It has helped me understand that having a mental illness (any mental illness) is not something we choose to have and not something we can simply wish or will away. I thank you all for that.
