Hi~
I've been on Effexor for about 5 years. I
am on the highest dose available, and I am
struggling with depression. I hate it.
I've been on numerous other meds, so now
what do I do?
Has anyone else experienced this? I feel
really alone right now.
thanks!

I suffered from panic, anxiety and
depression and cbt has changed my life
more than I ever thought anything could
this past year. I highly recommend giving
cbt a try. If you can't afford a cbt group
pick up a copy of been there, done that?
Do this! By sam obitz (tao3.Com) and start
doing the tea form exercise in it. We
started with this book in my group and it
is a easy read and teaches you how to
counter your thoughts in the middle
section. The more you work on the
exercises the more relief you get, I am
still improving today.

I hope it helps you Hawk. It's hard work
at first but if you stick with the
exercises I think you will find it
worthwhile. Let me know how it goes?
