Effexor.....

[truckdaddy]

anxiety...not taking it, but have some that they want me to take....want to see how others reacted

I took it....hated it. I like a blend of lexapro and welbutrin....lexapro rocks, but kills the libido, welbutrin kicks the sex drive up.

i have quite a bit of experience with anti-anxiety/anti-depressants. I have had depression/anxiety since I was 18 or 19. Been off and on tons of medications, doctors toyed with my dosages for years and years. Ive tried prozac, paxil, lexapro, effexor, imipramine, remeron, buspirone and am currently on Zoloft @ 100mg ED. I have to say the withdrawls from most of these medications is absolute hell. All of them had some sort of side effects and some people are more prone to them than others. I currently use between 1-3mg of xanax per day to control anxiety and the zoloft for depression. My doc switches me to klonopin once every blue moon since it is longer acting and supposedly less addictive - who really knows. For probably the first 2 months on zoloft I felt worse. Anxious, gastro intestinal problems, sweating, insomnia, etc. Once my body got use to the medication those side effects went away. The only real side effect now is loss of libido but Agguys help me out with that If you have any questions about SSRI's or the older trycyclic antidepressants just shoot me an email [email protected]. Like I said I've pretty much been through hell and back with these medications but zoloft seems to be the best for me.

i also have taken a host of medicines due to insomnia since the age of 8 and severe migraines caused by anxiety and stress. i have taken lamictal, remeron, xanax, ativan, klonopin, you name it ive tried it. personally for me remeron and lamictal are the most effective they are both non addictive and remeron makes me sleep like a baby, lamictal helps with stress which is really what my anxiety is from, i get real worried i am not going to be able to accomplish things in time and i get really fucking angry. that is when i take klonopins. effexor is great but its more for panic attack type anxiety which i do not have

remeron gave me nightmares and made me piss all over myself (literally)
