Hi, your very welcome and I hope everything works out for ya! You may want to ask your doc for a benzo or an AP (low doses) as an add-on.
Just my opinion... You may just need that until your body adjusts to help with the anxiety you are experiencing.
Keep me posted:-)

> thanks, I'll try and take it one day at a time. Lately though I've noticed an increase in Anxiety. I feel anxious all the time. I don't like it. What helps with the anxiety? An increase in Effexor, a different med?

> Hi there, IMHO, work with the Effexor NOW and try not to be concerned with the withdrawal effects, until you decide, or need to go off of it. Sometimes a person doesn't get used to their dose and don't have to up it. Example-yours truly. I have been on Effexor a lot and I have never had to go above 75mg. I know I was on 75mg at one time and my pdoc at the time increased it to 150mg Uh uhhh--couldn't deal, didn't help. 75mg does me just fime.
