"I have been on effexor for 1 year and thought it worked well if you just want to exist."
For myself effexor has been the first AD that worked for my symptoms without altering my mood/feelings. I am better able to cope with major events and the everday bumps. I do still get upset by events, but am able to balance myself quickly.
Treatment of "Generalized ANXIETY" it has been a gem! It took about seven months for me to feel the whole benefits of this medication.
I had given up on medications, but have been pleasantly suprised with this one. We each are individuals, our symptoms affect each in varying degrees, plus add the different treatment options; there is no answer for all, but more importantly what hasn't worked for one doesn't mean that it will not work for another and vice versa.
