Hi
I have been reading the post here for many months. I now had enough courage to register. It has been so nice to read your posts and know that other people out there feel the way I do.
I have suffered from general anxiety and depression since I was a teenager, I am now 37.
I have been on effexor for a about (at different doses) 10 years, also I take clonzapam 3 mg for the anxiety.
About a year ago I notice little things bothering me and then in October with the start of a stressful new job I had full blown anxiety. I did also have to get a new pdoc because my old one retired. He tried me on a number of anti pschosis drugs thinking I had some bipolar. Which none would aleve the anxiety even sequel.
He did put me on Rememron 45mg which has helped some. He wants me to taped off effexor from 225mg. I an now down (after about 3 months) to 75mg.
I feel horrible such depression and anxiety. Such fear of the future, with no bright outlook. I know I need to think postive and just ride this out. It is so hard.
I hope to hear from you.
