Gabbie...I am very relieved to hear that you are going to try something else. There are too many choices out there to stick with one that isn't working after two months. I actually have a wonderful withdrawl story...(quite rare on this site)...I just stopped taking 150mg of Effexor XR cold turkey and started back on 10mg of Lexapro that same day and had absolutely NO side effects at all!!! I don't know if your Doctor thinks that Lexapro will be the right drug for you or not but if so, you can hopefully look forward to the the same EASY transition. Other drugs might work just as well so give them a shot if they are what your Doc proposes...I only have experience with these two and Paxil (which I couldn't take at all)! Good luck and keep me posted!
