Effexor and Anxiety

Posted by Scorch on May 1, 2003, at 13:27:50

Has anyone else been prescribed Effexor for anxiety and panic disorder? I was hospitalised Sept 2002 and put on 150mg, which was then raised to 225mg in January. It never got rid of the anxiety enough to give me a fully functional existence. I've just had to reduce to 150mg because of side effects (excess sweating, hot flushes etc). Should I give up and get another antidepressant? Is there any chance I'll get any better at this dose? I've been on Seroxat (Paxil), Prozac and loads of various tricyclics and even an MAOI. I'm getting desperate. I've not been able to function for 2 YEARS - I have no concentration span and have taken 5 years (so far) to complete a 3 year PhD. Any advice would be helpful.
