Hi terrics, I have thought about using the effexor to get off the klonopin but since the klonopin doesn't work so well these days taking both may be an option. I've heard effexor doesn't work as well for anxiety but does help, so I assume I would have to take both. But I worry terribly what will happen to me if I have to go off either and since I'm almost fifty what effect will it have on me when I'm older and for the longterm. I'm already pretty spacey sometimes. I will see how I feel after we have moved, that alone is totally stressing me out. You don't want to hear the details but it's a mess. I imagine if the effexor has the same effect on me as it does on my sister, who has major depression, then it would be great. But I can't help but fear anti-depressants because of problems I have had with them in the past. Thanks for the suggestion though. I may try it.
