I am an effexor user, i've also was taking celexa,paxil and prozac.
They could'nt seem to find anything right ror me, honestly,
effexor does much less ror me than any others i've taken.
I get worse mood-swings than ever. I heard that you have to take
a fairly high dosage of this for it to help!

Sorry can't tell you more.

I have taken it before (aka xanex) and it made me tired until I got used to it. It didn't change my personality and who I was. It just made me more laid back...Which I needed!!

I would die without my xanax. I take 1 10mg pill per day and 150mg of wellbutrin. You should discuss any side effects with your doctor, but the alprozolam is great for anxiety!

Be real careful with xanax. Take it from someone who has been taking it for years and years and had to be weened off them they are tough to stop taking and if your dose is high enough it can cause seizures for thats what happened to me when I had decided to get off them. I told my doc and when he felt I was weened he quit giving them to me and I found myself looking online for these overseas pharmacy's to get them. Just a word of caution be careful very addictive.
To the person who wrote I would die without my xanax I know what you mean

I was on effexor for my generalized anxiety disorder for 2 years. I took 150mg and it did work for my anxiety problems. I went out of town for 2 weeks and forgot my effexor...This was when I realized that I needed to get off this medication. I went through the worst withdrawl symptoms. Depression (which I never had had), major anxiety, headaches, issomnia, tingling sensation in my head, crying. I got back on it and then a few months decided to wean myself off of it. Still had major problems coming off it when I weaned myself off of it. Effexor has a short life-span then most other antidepressants...Meaning you miss one dose and it can really effect you. I have decided to try a natural approach to my anxiety.

Effexor is the only drug that has helped my anxiety disorder and panic attacks. The panics attacks went from daily to seldom, although the symptoms of anxiety are still ever present but toned down from what they were. i had been on Buspar, wellbutrin, Paxil, and Prozac, oh and Zoloft, all of which didn't help nearly as much as effexor. If you miss just one dose of effexor you will start feeling very dizzy, vision like you are under water, and short tempered. I even lose peripheral vision and bump into stuff if I miss a dose. Effexor has allowed me to function, but I am not my "self".

I've been on Effaxor for abt a yr ana half now, I've been tapered down to 75mg, I'm also on clonozapime 10mg. when I ran outta clon. I decided to pop in alprozolam, and this for a week. now my symptons of anxiety are begining to surface. I also had a few joints of weed each about the size of a pepper seed. could these to alp and weed reduce the blood level of serotonin? any body there to guide me.
