Well everyone is different and reacts differently to meds. but my own experience w/ effexor, it has worked the best of all the AD's ive been on. I have been on every med that u listed so i know how u feel. The meds. u listed mainly focus on ur serontonin and effexor works on serontonin,norepinephrine, and dopamine (Lippincott's 02 drug guide). 37.5 is usually the starting dose and u will go uo to 75mg. I take 225mg(day 2) which is pretty effective for my major depression,ptsd and anxiety. Effexor may cause nausea at first, some irritability, and if ur on xr, trouble sleeping(take in AM if so). There are many more s/e but u can look those up under google. I adapted well to effexor and when i tried to quit, had no harsh s/e. Let me know if i can help.
