Honestly, I feel that my anxiety is largely just an inborn trait that I've had since a childhood, and the added stress of adulthood, plus the fact I was abusing drugs, caused the underlying disorder to manifest itself, so I would say it's mostly physical in origin.
Currently I'm trying Effexor and Remeron, but you said Effexor may exacerbate anxiety symptoms, I assume due to the noradrenergic effect, but doesn't Effexor only affect norepinephrine at around 225 mg? And you said a serotonin agonist would go well with a serotonin blocker, so perhaps Effexor at around 75-150mgs with Remeron at say 15-30mgs may be a good combo for anxiety?
