Effexor.....

The only substance that minimizes controls anxiety, if you have any kind of internal imbalance. Is Xanax.

The other 95 substances on the market are M&M’s

Sorry

It’s not the end of the world.




Every pharmaceutical company is trying to combine anti depression & anxiety meds, nice try, just does not work.

If you’re depressed, Prozac works over
For anxiety Xanax


For both, take both pills,

The other med that works great for me, but has side’s affects is Jack Daniels,
Every time I drink I end up in jail or prison, so take xanax and prozac instead.

unfortunately, you are correct. the doctors give me anti-D's for anxiety, and i get yo-yo'ed, having to rebound from xanax withdrawals because they don't want me to become addicted. well, i am addicted! and it beats the hell out of having panic attacks while driving down the expressway. so let me have my 1mg of xanax a day....

Yeah i've taken Xanax, kinda knocked me around (felt sluggish but good, people commented i was slower speeched etc), although here in aussie, doctors just won't perscribe xanax, and go for SSRI's instead...

Valium, Xanax... i'll take one of them any day, but these SSRI's are a no-no! More trouble than their worth (just my 2 cents).

ya alot of people do it, i was just at a guys house the other day and he snorted two percs, and those are big fuckin pills, but not very bright to do.

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

DONT start it!! If they have something else, try that. I was on it for 8 mo. Gained 15 lbs. Made my depression worse. The scariest part was coming off of it. Even though they gradually decrease the dose, I (and a great many others), experienced horrific side effects. Check out some of the depression forums. If your main worry is weight gain, it is known for that. There are many other anti-anxiety pills and combos out there. Adivan is a good one, its mild with few side effects. DONT try effexor! Yeeks!

it's a crazy anti d to be on bro. You have to taper on to it and then taper off. Some say it's worse than coming off of heroine when you've been on it for a while. If I were you, i'd go with lexapro or wellbutrin. They help your depression without making you lose your boner. Also, my wife took effexor for a while and it was hell for her. She would have terrible symptoms, nausia and even get sick just by drinking a coke! If you are self medicating yourself, STOP and go see a doctor. You should be taking an anti-anxiety medicine like xanax or valium (addictive tho) but you should be doing it under a doctors care..

I was given Klonopin. I havent used them and probly wont. Lots of bad feedback on these types of meds.

i'll have you kow that xanax if infinitely stronger than valium. that's the problem with xanax, there is no "help me get off xanax" drug. except more xanax. or less & less until you're weened. but fick that. xanax might keep me alive longer. i'm a walking bomb.

Don't know about Xanax, but effexor can be great if it is the right drug for your problem, but with some serious sides, ie withdrawl, I have had bad bad reactions to other drugs and no reaction to other drugs, effexor helps me more that I would have believed possible and I know I have a physical illness not a psychological one. Good luck, research this even more carefully than roids!

I'm sorry but thats untrue.

It affects your metabolism, and makes you costipated... A slower metabolism and constantly backed up means weight gain.

Of course not EVERYONE gains weight, but a good proportion do... and the nausia can either make you eat more, or eat less... so either gain or loose. But gain is more likely.
