That seems to be my effexor story so far... Lots of ups and downs with a raise in overall anxiety. A lot of times I'm just crawling off the wall! And it is addictive. My pdoc didn't want to use it, but I've tried a long list of stuff and my options are thinning rapidly. So far the only thing not tried are Buspar, MAOI's and Benzoes.
As far as antipsychotics, this is the first one. There is no difference with my hostility or hallucenations as of yet. I haven't cried in a long time. I just don't have the energy for it. I also have suicidal ideation and my imminent threat level is quite high. For me, it's better to be a zombie than off meds. I hate it, but whadayagonnado?
Good luck with your pdoc. Doctors are like thrift store merchandise. There are definite buried treasures, but sometimes you have to wade through a lot of garbage.
Good luck. If you want to talk, socialdeviantjeff@yahoo.com
