Hi Flipp,
I was on paxil for about a year and it kicked out. Then I was on Effexor for two years and it kicked out. I switched to Lexapro which so far is working fine. Just to give you a withdrawal heads up. You have to slowly reduce the dose of Effexor, it took months before I could start something new. While I had anxiety and was depressed, it was better than withdrawal side effects which I had with paxil when I went cold turkey.
I also take clonazepam as needed for anxiety and Seroquel to sleep.
Good luck.
