wow, nice success story; i needed that; hey anne, would you write one for me?

> When my daughter was 13 she developed severe anxiety and depression. She was started on Zoloft but could not tolerate the GI upset. She ended up in the hospital and was started on Effexor XR and went from 37.5 to 150 mg. within one week. She has been stable on 225 mg. for about 18 months and doing beautifully. She has just turned 15 years old, is an A and B student,has stopped worrying about her health, has given up a lot of her OCD habits (hand washing, fear of "germs")and has good friendships. Effexor, therapy, limit setting, routine, and the natural process of maturation have all helped my daughter to become confident and well. As long as your child is tolerating the medication with no undue side effects, I say go for it. My daughter adjusted to Effexor extremely well. (I take it also). Good Luck to you and your child. :) Anne
