Hi Sundown
I think every single one of us in this forum have been or is at the moment where you are. I can tell you from my experience that there is a brilliant light at the end of the tunnel. It usully takes a few weeks to begin feeling better once you have found the proper meds. I have never tried Effexor but it usually works well for most people. Relying on Xanax or other benzos for the time being can be helpful in taking the edge off until the meds kick in. Also something I learned through the years is to take each day as a new beginning, because that is what depression takes away, HOPE. We think we are never going to get through the pain and fear but it does subside.
I agree with one of the previous post in that you need to see a good psyc doctor. It makes a world of difference. Keep posting for as long as you need to, someone is always going to respond and eventually you'll be reading or writing post until you no longer need to use this site because you are too busy living life.Good luck
