Hi. I took Effexor XR for anxiety and it made it so much worse I thought sometimes I would have to go to the hospital. Some days I just had this fear hanging around for no reason. It was awful. I had to take 3 .5mg of Xanax a day if I was going to go out and function. Also couldn't sleep on it. The only good thing was I lost some weight. I went to another doctor who took me off of it immediately and put me on a combo of Celexa and Klonopin and that has been the best thing I've tried and I've been at this for about 12 years. I've read on this board that Effexor XR really did help some people with anxiety so I guess it's a toss up. Good luck, Teri
