Hi. I recently went to my doctor in hopes of being put on medication to help with my anxiety. I have dealt with anxiety issues/mild panic attacks for years now. Lately it seems the attacks and avoidance of situations are becoming worse. I dropped out of school because of the fear of loosing control in front of others because of an attack. Anyway, my doctor, whom I trust completely, wrote me a presription for Effexor XR. I admit, some of the posts I have been reading has made me a bit uneasy, but ultimately I realized something has to be done. I am prepared for whatever side affects are in store for me. My question is about Anti-depressants in general. How do they work? Will I just wake up one morning with a new confident outlook? Will I forget about the anxiety? I know this may sound silly to some, but this is the first time I have taken any medication.
Thank you,
Betty Gene
