Hi,

I started taking Venlafaxine (extended release capsules) 6 months ago for extreme anxiety and panic and even more severe chronic depersonalisation and derealisation disorder. My depersonalisation was so bad that I was too scared to stand up/speak/be left alone etc and was on the verge of being sent to psychiatric hospital when I started on effexor.

I am now almost fully recovered with hardly any of my former symptoms so from my point of view, Venlafaxine has been a complete miracle. Obviously this medication wouldn't work for everyone but it is definitely worth a try.
