> I suffer from severe anxiety. My dr. has prescribed effexor. Anyone had any experience with effexor for anxiety. I could really use some help
>>Yeah, Effexor for anxiety. Geez, that's a cure. Bye-bye, Valium, your time on this Earth is done. s/c.
I'm on 300 mg of XR everyday. I take it in the morning. Even though it does absolutely nothing but makes me impotent (and I unfortunately am too lazy to get some Ginko Biloba from the pharmacy) it doesn't even make me feel different, let alone give me freedom from anxiety.
I keep taking it to avoid vivid nightmares. I learned that lesson when I forgot to take it once. My dog ended up getting caught up in a meth drug ring, having his right brain taken out and face removed, all without anesthesia. Bad dream.
So learn a tip for me- even though it probably won't work (I say probably because the company boasts of having like 30% efficacy, in a study of which like 22% of placebo patients claimed efficacy in) just keep taking it for the rest of your life so you can avoid the nightmares.
Good luck! =)
