Re: need meds again I think

In reply to need meds again I think, posted by teek30 on July 29, 2005, at 10:26:54

It really depends. Some people need more and some less. If you have anxiety it often takes more than just depression alone. I used to take 50mg (a pain b/c pills only come in 10, 20, 40 so I had to take 2 pills). Some people find Effexor helpful. It is in a different class of drugs than you have tried before, but it is approved for both depression and generalized anxiety. I have never tried it though, so I can't speak from personal experience.

Best,
EE
