I have very similar symptoms of GAD - obsessive, dibilitating, panic stricken thoughts that I can't get rid of.
I have been on Effexor XR for 5-1/2 years and it's been wonderful for me! The highest dose I was on was 300mg/day, which I just reduced to 225mg in the process of getting off Effexor because I want to get pregnant. It took a couple of years for me to get to 300mg (doctor just increased as necessary). It really helped with my anxiety - more than I thought anything could. I was lucky and haven't had any HORRIBLE side effects, although there are some.
I now start the long, ugly road of withdrawal, but I wish you luck and calm on Effexor XR!
