I must agree with Tammi. After reading a lot of these posts, I am scared to death. I have been on different AD for 8 years (zoloft, elavil, celexa and lexapro). I only got off to get pregnant twice. I suffered horrible withdrawls both times. I weaned as the dr. said but I have always gone back to it. (not when I was prego) My main reason for taking effexor xr is to control anxiety. My dr gave me xanax for when I have an attack. All that does is make me want to sleep. I don't see how people get addicted to that--anyway. I just started effexor 75mg once a day about a week ago. So far, so good. I am just scared after reading all of the posts. Am I too probably going to have to up to 150mg a day, and if so, that will be even more difficult to get off if and when the time is right. I don't have any problem taking a pill if it makes me feel better. I just know from experience that after a certain number of months, your body needs more and more and more and ........ Any advice???

Thanks for "listening"
