> As for the GAD component, Effexor is great. It made me highly social and productive. So don't confuse my "physical anxiety" with GAD, these are quite different.
Your answers are extremely helpful. We seem quite similar--I too am an ivy league graduate and my symptoms manifested themselves during a very successful academic time in law school.
How are "physical anxiety" and GAD different? My anxiety manifests itself in clearly "physical" ways--lumps in throat and tightness/burning in chest (it's not like heartburn and I have been tested for acid reflux and for more serious heart problems). This is what led my Doc to diagnose me with GAD. Am I missing something??
