>I was diagnosed with "Free floating anxiety" and panic attacks - which to my horror seemed to occur for no apparent reason. I was put on Effexor XL (UK version) and found it made a marked difference....the intial side effects were not much fun ie body tingles, loss of concentration, nervousness and weakness but after a couple of weeks these wore off and I really felt things getting back to normal. I feel however lifestyle change is required alongside medical intervention. I found both aromatherapy and Bach Flower remedies effective..and most importantly making time for myself to relax...in this day and age it seems impossible to take time for yourself but SO important in helping with a healthy mind.
