> I think your doctor did the right thing. Effexor (and other antidepressants) are given to non-depressed people who have anxiety. Effexor is a very safe and very effective drug.
NO NO NO! EFFEXOR IS NOT SAFE!! i am withdrawing from this drug now, and it has been horrible. don't take effexor unless you absolutely have to, and make sure that your doctor has gone through taking someone else off the drug, or they may not be able to give you the support you will likely need when (if) you decide to discontinue.please research this drug very well before you take it! i recommend www.vivisimo.com search engine - try "venlafaxine withdrawal"
