Dear Baila,
I have been clean and sober for 14 years (tomorrow) and was diagnosed with clinical depressiona and anxiety very early on in my recovery. Alot of addicts/alcoholics suffer from a seratonin imbalance in the brain, but it can and MUST be treated. WHY would you want to get off the Effexor? I have accepted the fact that i will be on medication for the rest of myu life, and my life is so much better because of it! As far as the Xanax, it is VERY addictive and would not recommend it to someone trying to stay sober. well, good luck to you.
