>Whoa! Cin-666,
You were on 600 mg of Effexor a day? That is almost 2x the recommended daily dose. I am wondering whose care you were under...a MD or a Psychiatrist?
I had an MD prescribe a too high dose of Paxil for me for several months. I am still cleaning up the mess.
Now Effexor takes away my Generalized Anxiety but certainly not my inhibitions. I do things now without the usual anxiety and second thoughts. I like that!
